Poetry. "A long overdue collection, WEST OF MIDNIGHT places new
works alongside pieces drawn from a decades-spanning career to
illustrate the breadth of an influential and singular voice in
poetry. Franz Douskey's insights are uniquely his, his voice direct
and his imagination meteoric. Douskey has lived long and large....
The poems are rich in wit, irreverence and a furious honesty.
Everything is autobiographical. From intimate relationships,
political quagmires, baseball and eroticism, Douskey wields an
acerbic wit and a delicate command of tone to dive into the
contradictions that make us human. From the haunted urban alleys of
a turbulent childhood to his rhapsodic journeys through the
nocturnal deserts of the Southwest, Douskey revels both in the
absurdity of modern civilization and the heart-stopping beauty of
the natural world"--Robert Reinhardt.
