The Lilacs of Yearning

"The Lilacs of Yearning" is a collection of 88 poems written over the past ten years - most are quite recent.  From floaters in the eye or the brush of a hummingbird's wing, to conversations overheard at the race track, this is a sensory scrapbook tracing anger, humor, desire and memory.  Felix's powerful voice and physical presence highlight his many readings in the San Francisco Bay Area and come through palpably on the page. "It has been a pleasure to publish Morton's poetry.  We devoted an entire issue to his "You Say You Love Dandelions."  His work deserves the widest publication . . . vibrant and stimulating." -- Stanley McNail, late editor of the Galley Sail Review.
