Calvin Trillin – the often-political poet who got his start in published verse with a little gem titled “If You Knew What Sununu” – does not harbor any illusions about matching up with the great poets of his or any other era. (In fact, he once penned a two-line poem on the subject: “They’ve named another poet laureate / It’s not me yet.”) But Trillin’s latest collection of doggerel debuted at #7 on the bestseller list, and while the humor of his work may have something to do with it, there’s no doubt that his liberal slant and anger at the Bush administration is feeding sales as well.
