Welcome To My World: Selected Poems 1973-2013

By David Prashker

"Welcome To My World" contains a selection - more than one hundred and fifty poems - from the pen of novelist, songwriter, short story writer, scholar and artist David Prashker. Forty years after penning his first poem, David Prashker's "journey into the hinterland" has taken him through traditional forms of verse to explorations of Hebrew and Japanese poetry, poems as biography and dramatic monologue, poems as tributes paid in the coinage of language, as well as experiments in new forms. The poems selected here bring together work from nine volumes published privately between 1981 and 2013: "Early Poems", "Hebrew Poems", "Khaki On Both Sides", "Japanese Poems", "Coins", "The Pulse", "The Caged Song-Bird of the Muse", "The Strings on the Dome of the Tortoise" and "The Temple and the Word".
