John Godfrey's masterful body of work has sustained its attentive, lovesick, unruly energy for over fifty years.
The City Keeps
brings together the best poems from his thirteen 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.
With an enemy
like daylight who needs
the psychology dime
Hips do the work
and I cross the world
