The Night of Swaying Grass: A Memoir in Poems

By R Diskin Black

63 poems spanning 63 years, The Night of Swaying Grass: A Memoir in Poems is the debut poetry collection of R. Diskin Black, and tells the story of his life beginning in 1963. It is a story of childhood loss and grief, a story of coming of age and coming out, a story of resilience and reinvention. And ultimately, it is a story of New York City, one of eight million tales told in that city every year.
