Poetry: David Gewanter
- to This is a past program
Gewanter's poetry offers a sense of obstacles, and of obstacles not overcome but ridden and thus dealt with, and is nowhere better illustrated than in "Conduct of Our Loves." Read this poem in the book store and you will want to buy the book. —Thom Gunn
