We Did Not Fear the Father: New and Selected Poems

We Did Not Fear the Father: New and Selected Poems contains the best of forty years of Charles Fort. Ranging easily through a dizzying array of forms–sonnets, villanelles, prose poems, sestinas, elegies, blank verse, haiku, and modular poems, for starters–Charles Fort here demonstrates, unequivocally, that he is a master of his craft. By turns surreal, tender, terrifying, absurd, and soulful, Fort’s work churns with passionate, forceful expression. Fort owns the masters.
