Poetry. Out of stock in an older edition, HALF OF THE MAP is available once again in small quantities in this signed limited edition. William Doreski is the author of THE MODERN VOICE IN AMERICAN POETRY, as well as several collections of poetry. Deep salt marshes badger the eye. No distance. Or too much distance./ Walking, I'd sink because boredom had overtaken the daydream./ A good place to idle, to search for antique booty in roadside barns./ Who believes in tradition? Red as frozen limbs, the sea recedes/ From view, the sun backs down in tears. Smog even so far north...No gloss/ Can tempt me to buy, I'm pure enough through my haze of Contac and beer... (from Antique Hunting Near Ipswich).
