Dream Cabinet

A compilation of poetry of great beauty and searing honesty, this book consists of two long experimental sequences: the title poem "Dream Cabinet," set on an island in Sweden, and an eloquent account of the poet's first marriage entitled "Answers I Did Not Give to the Annulment Questionnaire." Exploring the full cycle of human life, this collection responds to compelling personal, political, and environmental issues of modern times while remaining aware of the evanescence of all mortal experience.
