Dear Prudence: New and Selected Poems

The collection that David Trinidad fans have been anticipating for years - soulful works of tenderness, wit and formal ingenuity. With assurance, grace, honesty and brilliant craftsmanship, David Trinidad writes about collecting, losing and recollecting. His work is a study of detail and devotion; in the words of poet Elaine Equi, 'no other writer makes the interface between our private memories and cultural ones appear so seamless'.
