Co-Winner
of the 2003 Yellowglen Prize: The Zen Garden
by David Dooley
The
polyphony of voices in David Dooley's The
Zen Garden, his first collection in nearly a decade demonstrates
the touch of a masterful narrative poet working at the height of his powers.
Dooley's poems, often resembling short stories more than lyrics, capture scenes
and characters with nuanced skill. Dooley's work is nearly unique in contemporary
American poetry.
Sample Poems by David Dooley
