Overview

Cabbage and Whiskey is a sharp, funny, and deeply human collection of poems from Norman Minnick, whose voice blends wit, tenderness, and unapologetic honesty. From the absurdity of yoga class exits and childhood fears of falling pianos to tender reflections on mortality, fatherhood, and fleeting beauty, Minnick moves seamlessly between humor and poignancy. Drawing from everyday encounters-mall walkers, ice cream trucks, auto repair shops, and even conversations with owls-these poems capture the ordinary and elevate it to something luminous. Minnick's language is playful yet incisive, his imagery rich with both laughter and longing. With poems old and new, Cabbage and Whiskey showcases a poet at the height of his powers, unafraid to find poetry in parking lots, tax returns, or the awkward blush of adolescence. Fans of Billy Collins, Tony Hoagland, and Mary Oliver will feel at home in Minnick's wry, compassionate world. This is poetry that reminds us how strange and marvelous it is to be alive-equal parts cabbage and whiskey, nourishment and burn.
