after moon

after moon is a sometimes sad, sometimes funny and sarcastic, but often thoughtful collection of poems written over three decades in the life of a gay African American man. Personal experiences and casual observations are reflected through expressions of love, loneliness, fear, eroticism, desperation and related joys and sorrows. With a variety of verbal tricks and poetic devices up his sleeve, Gregory Pond communicates in a language that is simple and light on words, but complex and deep in meaning.
