A Look Ahead: Selected Poems 1966-2018 - Paperback

by Laurance Wieder (Author), John Wilson (Foreword by)

This roughly chronological collection assembles the best of Laurance Wieder's poetry written over the past half-century. The poems speak in a chorus of voices, from Franz Schubert's to Goofy's, and feature the meditations of John Wayne and an Italian anarchist carpenter's take on democracy and organized religion. In his lyric dialogue with the world, Wieder's poems emerge from the ordinary to make something sensible out of the invisible.
