Dodo Feathers

Dodo Feathers: Poems 1989-2019 is about eclipse and extinction, flightlessness, and lost futures both public and private. The title comes from the poem ACounterfactual@:

The opposite of hope is not despair,
it is the wish for freedom in the past long gone:
the unaborted second term of RFK,
the Yorkist claim triumphant in the field,
Arbenz, Lumumba, Mossadeq, alive
and signing legislation with a Dodo-feather pen.
