The Burning Globe

by Wayne Miller

The Burning Globe is Wayne Miller's first book of poetry since the seventies. The Professor of Pre-Columbian Art History and the San Francisco Art Institute and co-founder of the North Beach Coffee Gallery poetry readings "My generation cast aside some old traditions and cherished institutions they felt to be too devious or full of falsehoods, and, since there now could be no fairytale ending, made a fairytale Now. But they were so busy singing in the choir that they didn't see the enveloping shadows creeping in.... Shakespeare caught it all. Yet it seems we've learned nothing. All the world, our stage, is burning. This book, I know, is only one small glass of water to throw upon the fire."
