Boa Editions, Ltd. offers All You Ask For Is Longing by Sean Thomas Dougherty. For more than 20 years, Sean Thomas Dougherty has negotiated between modernist and avant-garde writing and more populist traditions that extend back to Walt Whitman. His subject matter ranges from basketball to Bjrk, from blue collar workers to Biggie Smalls, from Luciano Pavarotti to women waiting at a diner outside a prison in Upstate New York. Selecting from the best of eight previous collections, this 'New and Selected' reveals the powerful arc and development of Doughertys writing and establishes him as a voice of dissent for the future.
