An Ordinary Dog by Gregory Woods

Description

Poems about desire: sacred and profane, frantic and serene, refined and grubby. An Ordinary Dog returns repeatedly to those times of crisis when history is lived and reinvented, when myth degenerates into faith, reason falters. The poems’ moods veer between cheerful equanimity and desperation; their focus between detachment and intimate involvement. In the end, as events take their course, it is always chance that prevails. 80pp
