Ophelia’s Legs and Other Poems
by Theresa Courtney Gillespie, edited by Anne Cheney

The Beach and Other Poems, by Roger Walke

“Roger Walke embraces life as a lover who is repeatedly rebuffed yet keeps coming back for more...He feels intense what it is to be human, yet is never sure he knows himself....He abhors cant in all its many shapes, sparing neither his church nor his society in his sometimes devastating wit.” --Michael Manheim
