Giving It Away David Memmott

New collection of poetry by Northwest poet and publisher. "David Memmott's GIVING IT AWAY is mature, sophisticated, visionary work. These diverse poems range far and near, inside and out of time and place. They intimately explore what we all want to know: How does the dream of life shape our every waking moment?" -- George Venn, author of THE MAGIC CIRCLE "David Memmott's sense of place extends from his piece of ground in northeastern Oregon to the space-time continuum of the universe itself. By turns prophetic, polemical, sensual, and humorous, these poems speak in stalwart witness to the outer and inner landscapes that he calls home." -- John Daniel, author of THE FAR CORNER "GIVING IT AWAY is infused with the generous and expansive spirit its title evokes... A fine and fresh contribution to the literature of the Northwest." -- Barbara Drake, author of BEES IN WET WEATHER and WRITING POETRY
