James H. Duncan

Poetry: Panhandle nocturne

 

James H Duncan is a New York native, a part-time Taoist, and the editor of Hobo Camp Review. Cheap wine is his muse, and cats seem to find him just in time. Although a graduate of Southern Vermont College, he considers himself a lifelong student of the road, picking up non-credit courses in local dive bars, all-night cafes, and used book stores. Plainsongs, Red Fez, Reed Magazine, and The Homestead Review, among others, have welcomed his poetry. His fourth collection "Maybe a Bird Will Sing" (Bird War Press) is due in early 2009.

Ballast
What we leave behind, we carry with us forever. This collection has been called "brilliant" and "endearing...a certain winner" with poetry and short stories of "elusive depth" that "leaves the reader bone dry and begging for more." Other comments:

"Very philosophical...contemplating life's cycle of cause and effect."

"A thing of beauty."

"Absolutely stunning."
