The Local Cluster ISBN: 978-1-931247-54-2 $17 “This is quietly bold poetry: simple statements line by line grow in strength to a wonderfully compressed metaphor for a sense of connection to place... There is an enigmatic quality to many of these poems; they become richer with repeated readings.” “Long, lung-deep stanzas, short, poky ones, even prose poem paragraphs, Morton’s attack changes with every new piece, his sweeping sense of enthusiasm the only constant. He writes as if poetry actually had an audience, words flung out across crowded rooms.”

Signs Last week rafts of ice flowed by on the river. I watched a gull ride one partway, disgorging its catch and reswallowing at leisure while the riverbank drifted past. Today the wooden stairs down to shore lie under water. Tomorrow I may lose this path and need to take the long way home. Everything’s in question now.
