Beschreibung
William Allen creates an imagistic world undergoing momentous changes in a series of poems based on titles of long-disappeared paintings from 19th-century New England painter Edward Mitchell Bannister as well as in poems evoking smells, sights, sounds of mid-nineteenth century America along the Newtown Creek between Queens and Brooklyn.

Poems celebrate the Queensboro Bridge, echoing Hart Crane, Walt Whitman and Franklin Delano Roosevelt reminding us of our immigrant and revolutionary heritage. And inspired by Awkwafina and Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, "21 Stations" evokes lives and music and history along the stations of the New York City 7 train, the 167 languages spoken there, journeying east out of the city.

Über den Autor
Bill's work echoes beloved voices from poetry, poets, history and politics and a new look at nature in an era of climate action, with personal memories and a look into language, love and the ties that bind us together. There's humor, humanism, a music of the earth, a quest for ethical answers in a world titling off its axis. Inspired by Lowell and Bishop, Frank O'Hara and Ashbery, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Philip Levine and Muriel Rukeyser's spirit of questioning and grace.He is the recipient of a 2009 National Endowment for the Arts fellowship in Creative Writing and has published three books of poems, The Man on the Moon (New York University and Persea Presses), Sevastopol: On Photographs of War (Xenos Press, 1997) and North Passage (Clay Street Press, 2019). His work can be seen at ekphrasis.comHe has been working at the United Nations in New York for many years and hopes to bring humanism and heart to the poetry canon. He's currently working with the Red Hook Conservation Advisory Council to explore and protect the natural resources of the Hudson River Valley where he lives with the artist Barbara Westermann.
