The Glittering Sea (Paperback)

Dark and light alternate in these poems. Irony and farce one moment is replaced the next by a surprising lyricism. Amsterdam, New York, London - actually observed scenes contrast with others that exist almost solely in the poet's mind. The big issue of politics shift to the intimate and personal and back again by something like a Moebius loop of language. Poems such as Central Park Vistas betray in comic fashion Donald Gardner's struggle to become at least a better poet, if not a better person. The title poem, The Glittering Sea, was inspired by The Falling Man - an image which stunned the post 9/11 world.
