Your Whole Life (2007, Slipstream Press)
(20 poems, 40 pages, $13)
Winner, Slipstream Press
Poetry Chapbook Contest
"'Have you ever felt the world was full of edges?' Goetsch asks,
and he can't keep himself from going right to those edges, whether
he is writing about the entanglements of adult life, the cluelessness
of childhood, or, as he so deftly does in several poems, both at
once. The result is a poetry that is unforgiving, moving, and often
very funny."
—Jeffrey Harrison

The Job of Being
Everybody
(2004, Cleveland State University Press)
ISBN:
1-880834-62-6
(40 poems, 59 pages, $19)
Winner,
CSU Poetry Center
Open Book Competition
“Douglas
Goetsch’s autobiographical poetry is so consistently bleak,
I’m not quite sure why I so often find it moving. I guess partly
because the poetry seems so free from baloney, and because there is
a sweetness down inside Goetsch’s insistence on the factual.” —Mark
Halliday

Nobody's Hell (1999, Hanging Loose Press)
ISBN: 1-882413-60-1
(40 poems, 74 pages, $16)
"Douglas Goetsch's first full length collection introduces to a
wider readership a poet of subtle technical skill and wicked good
humor. But even more important than these admirable qualities is
Goetsch's compassionate understanding of peoples' lives....These
poems will 'stay up in the head' of any reader who cares about poetry,
and what we do here, in our time." —Robert
McDowell

Wherever You Want (Pavement Saw Press)
ISBN: 1-886350-79-5
(23 poems, 34 pages)
"One of the poems, 'Dinoasurs,'
is dedicated to Stephen Dobyns, and you can see his fearlessness in
these poems as well as his compulsive, brooding humanity. Douglas
Goetsch has a large heart and he's found a richly moderated narrative
voice to express it." —Len Roberts
Winner of the Pavement Saw Press Chapbook Prize, Goetsch's first collection,
is no longer in print. |
