The Rose of Toulouse by Fred D'aguiar
The Rose of Toulouse is a book of geographies tracing where the poet has lived and taught, their histories, and his history as he travels away from who he was.
Praise for Continental Shelf: 'Sensitive.. beautiful, visionary.' -- Frances Leviston, Poetry London 'Outstanding... Quietly crafted, calm, full of luminous details and texture, these poems offer a gentle, almost utopian, sturdiness.' --Charles Bainbridge, Guardian
