TheLastCoherentThing Format: TradePaperback

John Wing has published nine previous books of poems. This tenth collection, his first in six years, is arguably his best! The Last Coherent Thing chronicles the death of his father, the moving away of his adult children, his own aging and medical issues, a nostalgic tour of this romanticized youth, and his hope for the days ahead. Starting in Los Angeles, sweeping back and forth across the continent and the years, and ending in Whale Lake, Nova Scotia, the Poet rediscovers his optimism in an untrammelled landscape.
