Stagolee the bad motherfucker

Tuscaloosa, I'm reading Wednesday night at the Green Bar for the penultimate Pure Products Reading, along with Wendy Rawlings, Nikhil Bilwakesh, Scott McWaters, John Wingard, & Eric Weisbard.

The plan is to break up the prose storm with a long poem on Stagolee / Stagger Lee / Stack O' Lee. Please come, but only if you want to. Leave yr .44 & Stetson at home so nothin gets ugly.

& 2 books I recommend after using them for some research on the tales/toasts/myths/ballads of Stagolee:
