Wanting a Vodka at 9: 10 a.m.: New and Selected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781537387048)

This slender volume of poetry has the ambitious goal of ending blindness, at least the type that afflicts millions of people--seeing without truly observing. The irony is that those who suffer from this condition are generally oblivious to it, unaware of all the wonder before their eyes. In these 40 poems, Will Conway observes, closely, what is around him--from supermarkets to cemeteries, sandy beaches to the corner pub. A casual intersection with a stranger, an overheard snatch of conversation, the happenings in the morning or evening sky are opportunities for reflection. Bringing such attention to what is around you can change your world from a mere backdrop to life itself.
