Double Going (American Poets Continuum) - Softcover
In Double Going, Richard Foerster's tightly chiseled poems are rife with a doubling of images and motifs that reappear like musical phrases sounding in different contexts. The title speaks to the dual nature of love and anger that a son feels towards his father.
Richard Foerster is the author of three previous poetry collections, Sudden Harbor and Patterns of Decent (Orchises Press) and Trillium (BOA), which received Honorable Mention for the 2000 Poets' Prize. He is the editor of the literary magazine Chelsea. He lives in York Beach, Maine.

From Publishers Weekly:
Richard Foerster's Double Going draws consoling connections between experience and the imagination, literature, myth. Contemplating a petit mal seizure, Foerster's speaker says, "This is how, perhaps,/ we first came to know/ the gods: tiny ailment,// a sudden advent of dread." In assessing photographs of the poet's boxer father, cigarette addiction, a waltz and everyday objects like pocket watches and swings, Foerster (Trillium) isolates each worldly thing or phenomenon in a precise, shimmering space unsullied by interference from forces beyond his own focus.
