Millennium Fever

Poetry by Jack Marshall

October 1, 1996 • 6 x 9 • 96 pages • 978-1-56689-054-0

From a critically acclaimed poet, politically and environmentally hot poems for the next millennium.

Millennium Fever engages the open fluidity of life—ocean, coastal birds, evolutionary biology, the cycle of season, the alternations of human love, the corruption of politics—as an opportunity to explore new terrain and other possibilities of being. In lean and tensile music, these poems beautifully articulate our time and condition as we embark on the next millennium.
