Allen’s first book since the 1997 novel, ‘Napoleon’s Retreat’, and his first collection of poetry in almost a decade. Among other things, ‘Ricky Ricardo Suites’ contains 46 new sections of the long poem ‘The Encantadas.’ Of the collection, Rob McLennan wrote in the Antigonish Review that “Allen writes clear and provocative poems on a range of subjects, casually observing Errol Flynn’s cock, getting cable, conversations of what Al Purdy could get away with, Ricky Ricardo, and on the birth of western music.”
