Review of The Richard Brautigan Ahhhhhhhhhhh by Michael Bryson The Danforth Review

Nowhere in the book is the title explained. Nor does the book include a note on Brautigan's identity - though that can be found in a note in the back of bury me deep (which includes a sequence of poems about the U.S. poet). The note in bury me deep calls Brautigan "the last of the beat poets out of San Francisco in the late 60's." The title is obviously a homage to Brautigan - who died by his own hand in 1984 - one mclennan surely means readers to research further themselves.
