Stuart Dischell

Penguin poets

Evenings & Avenues, the new collection of poems by award-winning writer Stuart Dischell, captures the yearning spirit of the end of our century. These lyrics and story-poems are set in locales as varied as Boston, Sarajevo, and London, in wax-works, shops, bedrooms, and, most frequently, a street, an avenue, or a boulevard, where the seven "Evening" poems that punctuate the book take place. Dischell's poems are passionate, sometimes darkly comic, sometimes heartbreaking,And always unpredictable. They animate a world between possibility and destiny
