Poetry. John Stigall's fourth book of poetry extends and deepens his concerns with growing older, investigating his past identity as a "Woodstock-wanna-be, / Chairman Mao worshipping, Hendrix & / Coltrane crazed, anti-war protesting, womanizing / financially faithful husband" and reconciling it with his complex relationship to religious faith.
