The Gospel According to Frank

          by David Lloyd

          foreword by Gilbert Gigliotti

          Merging elements of Frank Sinatra's public persona with Biblical and mythological           representations of divinity, the poems in this collection weave a complex and engaging           gospel narrating the life of an American icon. With wit and power, this sequence uses           (and misuses) styles and forms from Greek mythology, the eighth-century Irish epic Tain           Bo Cuailnge, the Welsh medieval tales of The Mabinogi, and the Old and New Testaments to           construct a fresh portrait of The Chairman and the cosmos he still occupies. Renowned           Sinatra scholar Gilbert Gigliotti, author of A Storied Singer: Frank Sinatra as Literary Conceit,           provides the insightful foreword to the expanded edition of this poetry collection,           published originally by New American Press in 2002.
