WAMPONOMON: The Place of Shells is a poignant and heart-breaking look at the past we all carry within us. A reflection on place, it is the Long Island of the author's childhood, but also the history of the land, both real and imagined. It is both small town America and colonialism writ large, and reading through this collection of poems will take the reader on an unforgettable journey through time and memory.
