Raw and Ripe - Andy Wilkinson - Bog

Andy Wilkinson began writing poetry as a high-school sophomore. Over the 60 years since, his poems have been published in anthologies and magazines, featured in musical recordings and films, and along the way he's written a stage play and two books in poetry. Yet this is his first collection, 120 poems drawn from a much larger body of work. Given the six decades represented, they reflect a variety of form, subject, and length. But each and every poem is very much characteristic of his art and life.
