Tram Conductor's Blue Cap

Featuring a variety of lyrical poems, this remarkable new collection illustrates the allegorical and philosophical while still gesturing towards the ecstatic. Constantly finding new ways to express wonder, this anthology begins with a springtime "shout of green" and ends with an "invisible reader." Traveling from Athens to Mexico and dictating the thoughts of Marco Polo and Emily Dickinson, each piece underscores the imaginary, cultivating patience, anticipation, and even regret. Fans and aficionados of poetry will delight in this exploration's assured voice and consistent element of surprise.
