Turning Radius - Paperback

by Douglas G. Campbell (Author)

A book of 100 poems written during the years before the author's stroke in 2012. Rather than organizing the poetry as a volume with a single formal or thematic focus, this book's seven sections coalesce as something more like an omnibus, or, on closer reading, like a jewel with seven facets, each of which displays a different aspect of the author's rigorously lived inner life.
