Book Description:
|
The poems here delve into what William Logan calls the "ill-lit kingdom of the past." The book is haunted by the dead but equally penitent toward the rich insinuations of the living: the lost floral paradise of the Florida outlands, the steamy Gatsby summers of a Long Island childhood, the frozen stones of a colonial burying ground. This new collection of seventy-two poems will allow readers to delight in the richness of Logan's language and the boldness of his vision.
