Door to a Noisy Room - Paperback

by Peter Waldor (Author)

Peter Waldor's spare irony--sometimes tender, sometimes bawdy--deals in dichotomies: love and hate, frailty and strength, fear and faith. These elliptical and colloquial lyrics draw equally from parable, prayer, and elegy. Hesitating on the threshold between isolation and community, the poet focuses a distortingly accurate microscope on what matters in our lives.
