The Unseen World

The poems in The Unseen World wander just below the surface under water and under the moon, beneath fields and cities, love and family. They bump into dead Spanish poets in bus station gift shops, take coffee with Søren Kierkegaard at IKEA and spot Henry Miller emerging from the 14th Street subway. Cameo appearances include two bullfighters, a bear out shopping for a pair of pants, a dental assistant's ovaries and a voting pig named Victoria. All the while, the action is being filmed by Robert Frank from his perch in Cape Breton to a soundtrack of the distant barking of dogs.
