Selected Poems (1976-2019): Will Dockery

https://pennyspoetry.fandom.com/wiki/Act_of_Will_by_Will_Dockery

Okay, here's the cut as of June 2019, still subject to tweeking and additions, as I remember them:

Apple Montage 2017 Bluebird v Shadowville Speedway Blues 2009 v Ganesha Girl on Rankin v Ragpicker Joe v At the Taco Stand v Frayed Page Soaked in Rain v from Saint Augustine Blues Chorus 5 Chorus 6 Sky Song v When the Mill Shut down Signposts on the Outskirts 1976 v Behind the Forest 1999 v Looking over the Bridge (Built in 1936) 1999 v

A Certain Music v Wave, 1999 v To the Sea Angel, 1997 v Sunglass 2003 v Mari in 1982 v Tuesday with Little Spain 1997 v A Green Glow at Midnight 2017 v Winterworld Descending Stopwatch She Loves Bossa Nova Swamp Street Exile Nightmare Tears v In a Dream I Saved You 2018 v Tired of Waiting Picture Book Stares Back v Life during Reconstruction 2017 Twilight Girl Deep Blue Sassafras 2018

Conversational Abyss v Decima for Decima v Haiku 417 v Haiku You Modern Memory v Picture Book Stares Back v River Haiku v Winter Heat (2017) v

That's about 40 poems, a good even number for a poetry collection, without overload to the reader.

And no offense to anyone, but I feel after long thought that a more streamlined edition is what is called for at this point, wait until I die for all the fancy epitaphs and critical studies (perhaps a companion book for all that?), likewise all the extra art, just my picture on the cover will be fine.

Likewise, let's drop all the extra cleverness on the cover and just call it

Will Dockery:

Selected Poems

or

Selected Poems:

And, let's put it in the traditional Beat "Pocket Poets" format, almost mini comic chapbook in size, a size I have always favored, this will also end the need for "filler", just lay the poem one page at a time.
