Synopsis

A collection of recent work by post-Beat poet Mark Terrill. Some of these poems first appeared in limited-edition chapbooks or in the numerous journals and magazines to which he is a frequent contributor; others are published here for the first time. Lavishly illustrated with 25 drawings by Jon Langford, and garnished with praise from such luminaries as Anne Waldman, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Joanne Kyger, Great Balls of Doubt delivers images and sentiments ranging from the real to the surreal to the elegiac, with no shortage of humour along the way.
