Longhouse has announced the publication of Electric Boat, A collection of atomic submarine shipyard poems by Paul McDonough.
To order contact Paul at [email protected]. Praise for Electric Boat “The poems have the sea edge to them, the rime, the flotsam, the hurt of working in the open, the science of something ever larger than us. It isn’t simply the poems a poet wants to make, but that is essential, and more the overall aura. It is the aura missing from most poets and music today. They don’t live in their work, and your book has it, along with some fright to what you are living with.” “By the time the reader has the fortune to drift into Melville and Hopkins oh my lucky stars! This is a book that is drifting. Let yourself drift. Make the reader find the drift.” “The photos, by the way, are essential to the text to swim the mind and eye, and it does.”
