Dead Man's Float.
Port Townsend: Copper Canyon Press, 2016. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. A “dead man’s float” is a survival technique used by swimmers during an exhausting journey. In this his final collection, Harrison extols fellow poets who suffered great hardships and brutal deaths—Lorca, Machado, Mandelstam—and marvels at the beauty they created. Preoccupied with the savageries of time and recognizing that “at my age you don’t think about the future because you don’t have one,” Harrison assures his readers: “Mind you, I’m in no rush for this to end.”.
