In a series of prose poems about showbiz, he re imagines Cookie Monster as a burned-out suicide, and cheesy talk-show host Joe Franklin as a cross-dressing witness to the apocalypse. And in \"For Charlotte, Unlisted\" he wrenchingly tracks the elusive memory of a faded romance.\u003cb\u003eMike Doughty\u003c\/b\u003e is the founder the band Soul Coughing.
