The New Poetics of Isolation: Poems 1998 - 2010

Owing much to the confessional tradition of Sexton and Plath, Steven Bilow's first collection of poems takes readers on a journey from 1960 Los Angeles to the 21st century's early seminal moments. Along the way, personal experiences and life-changing transformations abound. This is a very personal collection of thoughts, recollections, and reactions to an ever changing social and political environment. About Mr. Bilow's BLOG, almostrational.wordpress.com, long-time friend and social activist colleague of blessed memory, Emily Georges Gottfried, once said: "Steve Bilow is just a totally open book!". This book follows that lead in a candid, open, and sometimes surprising collection of poetry.
