Private Lemonade

Godfrey is a well established figure in the New York scene that includes Paul Violi and Ron Padgett--authors that Coffee House has pushed over the last couple years. Godfrey has received previous praise in reveiws from Ron Padgett, Peter Gizzi, Alan Davies, Clark Coolidge, and the late Jim Brodey. Godfrey's 2001 book for The Figures was a step away from his usual form into thicker bricks of prose poems. "Private Lemonade" is a refreshing return to his previous work.
