Love Poems of Alan Dugan

di Alan Dugan (Autore)

Seven Stories Press, 2026

Unique, inimitable expressions of romantic love from a the National Book Award-winning poet, the great Irish American bard. The love poems of the Great American poet Alan Dugan rival those by Catullus and Neruda for their insight and wit that have offered solace and entertained readers for decades and beyond. Caustic, lustful and dark, these are yet beautiful expressions of the lionhearted Irish American poet, the core of his art, blending hurt and hardship with a powerful belief in the driving force that love is. From “Love Song: I and Thou,” in Poems (1961): I can nail my left palm To the left-hand crosspiece but I can’t do everything myself: I need a hand to nail the right, A help, a love, a you, a wife. And from “Night Scene before Combat” in Poems Six (1989): … I should get back to the truck I I left idling by the curb, but I turn to you for one last time in sleep, love, before I put my uniform back on, check my piece, and say So Long.
