Books: Weepin' & Wooin' With Rod McKuen
(2 of 2)
Why do people buy his product? As an exercise in camp? Almost certainly not. They seem charmed and disarmed by his sentimentality, his square hipness. What the McKuen phenomenon proves is that, no matter how sophisticated or cynical the times may seem, there is always a vast market for the banal.
* McKuen's books do not appear on bestseller lists because bookstores do not normally report poetry sales.
