The Long Defeat

"After the remarkable success of Patrick Connors’ first book of poetry, The Other Life: Poems, and the impact Covid had on our lives, the poet’s new collection, The Long Defeat, is now available. As the author states, “I was laid off for ten weeks at the start of the pandemic. This forced me to confront not only my dissatisfaction with life at that point, but also the pain I have been carrying around for many years. Meanwhile, the planet is in a terrible ecological state and its citizens are increasingly at odds with one another. The Earth is crying out for healing and purpose and hope. So are we!""--
