Poems by Laurence Goldstein
ISBN 0-914278-66-5
$9.95 US

The third collection by the long-time editor of the Michigan Quarterly Review combines a commitment to poetry informed by tradition with an almost obsessive devotion to pop culture.

“This often funny but more often melancholy volume displays Goldstein’s major obsessions—Los Angeles, Judaism, and poetry.”
Publishers Weekly
