Liquid Paper: New and Selected Poems

Peter Meinke was a master of traditional poetic forms long before the current interest in "the new formalism." His work is, in turn, witty, comic, sane, deeply moving, and always readable. Liquid Paper collects the best of his previously published poems from the late 1960s on with a generous selection of new work.
