Dodo Feathers: Poems 1989-2019

by Jamey Hecht

Dodo Poems 1989-2019 is about eclipse and extinction, flightlessness, and lost futures both public and private. The title comes from the poem ACounterfactual@: The opposite of hope is not despair,
it is the wish for freedom in the past long
the unaborted second term of RFK,
the Yorkist claim triumphant in the field,
Arbenz, Lumumba, Mossadeq, alive
and signing legislation with a Dodo-feather pen.

106 pages, paperback
