Farewell Tour

John Dorsey

London, England, UK: Tangerine Press, 2024. Limited Signed and Lettered First Edition. Hardcover. “at fifteen we all want to fly into the sun / when it still seems like there’s plenty of time / to find our way back / on that next bit of highway / before the road less traveled / is closed for repairs / before crumbling away altogether / where kerouac & richard hugo / throw their wild fists in the air…” From the book's titular poem, “Farewell Tour” (pg. 1). Presented here is one of the latest additions to John Dorsey’s growing mountain of work, adding to a portfolio of more than 2000 publications in print magazines and anthologies, and 50 collections of poetry. Some of these other works include: Sodomy is a City in New Jersey (2010), Appalachian Frankenstein (2015), and another from Tangerine Press, Being the Fire (2016), and many of his publications have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize! Properly noted as one of the most prolific poets of his generation, Dorsey gives us Farewell Tour, a provocative collection of insightful and ironic poems dunked in philosophical prodding and surrealist musing.
