Market Town and other poems

by David Davis

This collection of 119 poems by David Davis takes its name from the first section titled “Market Town.” In the author’s own words, “The ‘Market Town’ poems are a ‘mash-up’ inspired by Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales,’ Thoreau’s ‘Walden,’ and the appurtenances of modern life.” Two intermissions titled “Short Poems” are brief, witty, attention-shifting additions, that delineate the three conversations which ensue: “Communion,” “Night Camp,” and culminating finally with ”A Fond Farewell.”
