Synopsis

Book by Dickerson, George

About this title

From the Publisher

"George Dickerson's poetry engages the full body's senses. His images, both stark and wonderfully crafted in their reach, are rich in tactile nuances. As in Down Tunbury Road, one enjoys his ability to marry the natural landscape to the lush, breathing mindscape of human nature, so prevalent in his poetry."--James Ragan

"In his poems, Dickerson gallops from war in Lebanon, to sexual exuberance, to the dead, to poetry itself. His words are deftly harnessed, kept in rein in a number of metric gaits. These poems both delight and delve."--Karen Swenson

Includes a CD featuring the poet reading his selected poems!!!
