The Penny Poet of Portsmouth: A Memoir of Place, Solitude, and Friendship - Katherine Towler

Descriere The Penny Poet of Portsmouth: A Memoir of Place, Solitude, and Friendship - Katherine Towler

\nThe Penny Poet of Portsmouth is a memoir of the author's friendship with Robert Dunn, a brilliant poet who spent most of his life off the grid in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The book is as well an elegy for a time and place--the New England seaport city of the early 1990s that has been lost to development and gentrification, capturing the life Robert was able to make in a place rougher around the edges than it is today. It is a meditation on what writing asks of those who practice it and on the nature of solitude in a culture filled with noise and clutter.
