ISBN: 1566890853 ISBN-13: 9781566890854 Publisher: Coffee House Press OUR PRICE: $12.56 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 1999 Annotation: Written in the course of several journeys home to visit the poet's adoptive parents, Michael Coffey's second poetry collection begins with a surreal guidebook that takes us from one end of New York State to the other, and ends with a family recipe. Filled with images that are loving, jarring, indicting, preserving, 87 North is a testament to the power of language and the pleasure of sound. Coffey writes to record memory and experience, and to give details the dignity of their names. |
