IV What: New and Selected Poems

From the streets of India to the factories of Chicago to the rocky coast of Maine, Dan Carleton's plain-spoken poetry speaks from the pages of IV What with poetic tributes to animals, death, war, work, travel, the blues and family. Take a trip with him through his life and all of our lives in the pages of this satisfying and deeply personal collection. "I sometimes wonder when I say goodbye if it's for the last time" he muses. There is no suffering through long-windedphilosophical exposition; every poem provides accessible revelations about life.
