Find A Place That Could Pass For Home

Find A Place That Could Pass For Home consists of poems selected from three decades of writing. They draw largely on a sense of places lived and sights seen -from the rooms of the poet Machado in Segovia to sheep-shearing in the Scottish Highlands-taking in his home territory in New England and a memorial to death camp victims in Paris. There are encounters and characters: a visionary local, the wife of a terrorist, a dying man recalling the words of Homer, a Shin Buddhist mendicant, and poems of friendship and romantic loss.
