Doggerland - Ancestral Poems

Poetry. Dicko King calls this work "an ancestral chronicle," but it's bigger than that--something more like a species chronicle. King traces us out of the primordial ooze through our revolutions and migrations, and then, only finally, to his clan and family. This is poetry rising out of the blood and bones.

About the author

Dicko King was born at the old Carney Hospital in South Boston, and raised in St. Margaret's parish in Dorchester during the last of the grand and mythical eras presided over by tribes of feral children--when adventures could be had beyond the watchful eyes of a mother or father, and despite strictures and wounds inflicted by priest or nun. Dicko's poems have appeared out of nowhere, some of them published in Prime Number, Cactus Heart, Portland Review, and Straylight. He is a finalist for The Louise Bogan Award.
