Poetry
The Joy of the Nearly Old
Hanging Loose Press · 2012
Rich, fluent poems charting a writer’s pilgrimage through Key West, England, Paris, literature, age and the vivid textures of a fully inhabited world.
“The sentences are so poised and artfully phrased that, despite their sometimes dark subject matter, they are a palpable pleasure on the tongue.”
Harvey Shapiro
