Stethoscope Dave Morrison

Stethoscope is poet Dave Morrison's ninth collection of poetry. Hailed as 'A hearty weed in the garden of American poetry' Dave Morrison's poems have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer's Almanac. ""In Stethoscope, Dave Morrison the poet has fully arrived. Few people participate as fully in the musical awe beaten out in these poems as Dave Morrison maintains naturally all the time. ""I'm transcribing as fast as I can,"" he says of words given to him in a dream, ""but / they are disappearing in the / morning sun."" Luckily for us, he has trained his ear to pick up the pulse no matter how faint, and amplify it with practiced skill. In this book, his transcriptive powers have hit full blossom."" Dana Wilde - author of The Other End of the Driveway and editor of Uni-Verse
