The pages of a book may not be what Zach Bartlett meant when he said his stage work was going to get him "between the covers more often," but he'll take what he can get. Northern Dandy collects his body of bawdy work performed at Esoterotica, New Orleans' original outlet for sensual spoken word. Ranging from salacious slant-rhymed sestinas and multiple-choice misadvantures to limericks that knock Nantucket down a few pegs, Zach's frisky formal experiments walk a wry route between Vaudeville and Storyville.
