Dodo Feathers

Dodo Feathers: 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 gone: 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.
