Count Four - Paperback

by Keith Kopka (Author)

Count Four, winner of the Tampa Review Prize for Poetry, is a book about trying to reconcile the conflicting elements of one's identity and attempting to understand and articulate the forces that are shaping it. Many of the poems in the collection were written over years the poet spent as a musician in and around the East Coast punk scene. They try to make sense of how the things and people he loves most in this environment are also what are most likely to destroy him.
