A Look Ahead: Selected Poems 1966-2018

This roughly chronological collection assembles the best of Laurance Wieders poetry written over the past half-century. The poems speak in a chorus of voices from Franz Schuberts to Goofys and feature the meditations of John Wayne and an Italian anarchist carpenters take on democracy and organized religion. In his lyric dialogue with the world Wieders poems emerge from the ordinary to make something sensible out of the invisible.
