SHALL BE A BRIDGE

SHALL BE A BRIDGE brings together a selection of Keith Shein's longer, serial poems written over the last decades. Often composed while travelling, the poems range from Paris to the banks of California's Trinity River, and from the beaches of Pacific Grove to Texas towns. The poems' concerns range just as broadly, addressing love, economics, work, intimacy over distances, and the politics of living in a large, populous country. SHALL BE A BRIDGE is a poetry of finding place.
