Ellery Street by David Ferry
REPRINTING SOON
Softcover
“I have found that there is in [David] Ferry’s poems a certain way of managing the breakdown of our various powers and affections, so that all is not lost; so that instead of a vanishing there is an ascension into another kind of clutchable glory, the replacement-echos even more tantalizing than the original. A lapsed awareness, or a lapsed memory, will often come back with new life, as if the poems were saying that we are not yet done with our days, that something else is around the the corner.” —Ifeanyi Menkiti
