City Keeps

"John Godfrey's masterful body of work has sustained its attentive, lovesick, unruly energy for over 50 years. The City Keeps: Selected and New Poems 1966-2014 brings together the best poems from his 13 collections, plus some previously uncollected. "Dedicated to those who people the City of New York," Godfrey's work is populated, elusive, and geometric, but also full of tenderness and light."--Publisher's website (viewed 05/12/2016).
