Spiral Trace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781566893275)

Praise for Jack Marshall:

"[Marshall] understands that all worlds, the material and the spiritual, are one, and that the neighborhoods and cities that no longer exist can be conjured by memory and reanimated by art."--San Francisco Chronicle

From "Spiral Trace"

Only on the way
down does the sun
make my day,
as in a grove of trees, a stroll
will smell of pharmacy
eucalyptus, sage, menthol.

Born in Brooklyn to Jewish parents who emigrated from Iraq and Syria, Jack Marshall's poetry has received the PEN Center USA Award, two Northern California Book Awards, and a finalist nomination from the National Book Critics Circle.
