The Last Place on Earth - Paperback

by John Claxton (Author)

In this autobiographical book of poems, the arc

of a life is considered from childhood to last days,

each poem a stop along the way.

From remembering how his mother wrote, "A bird /

skipped across the surface of the page." To considering

how he might choose to spend his last moments,

"I would read out loud / the way you sometimes

like me to, every word / a star. Brilliant, then dimming."
