Author Description

Poetry. Geoffrey Young publishes The Figures, one of America's best small presses. CERULEAN EMBANKMENTS extends the masterful earlier poetry in his first major collection, SUBJECT TO FITS. In addition to writing poetry and publishing books, Young runs the Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington, Mass. Many of his incidental publications have involved collaboration with artists, and this work includes original drawings by Carroll Dunham. Young turns his engine loose every which way, introducing terrains that lovers of lyric insouciance will want to return to recurrently, landfalls of an imaginary America floating on tides of critical energy--Bart Black the PO-8. Other Geoffrey Young titles available from SPD include THE RIOT ACT, POCKETS OF WHEAT, and FICKLE SONNETS.
