Night Walking with Nathaniel Dennis Daly

Poetry. "In NIGHT WALKING WITH NATHANIEL, Dennis Daly skillfully draws a vivid panorama of fascinating Salem, a town he knows profoundly well. Its richly shadowed past contrasts ironically with its present: on Gallows Hill stands the wreckage of a playground, the Puritan Motel is now a scene of revelry. Nathaniel Hawthorne, poet Jones Very, and innocents accused of witchcraft live and breathe again, alongside our contemporaries. This is one of the more satisfying collections of American poems in years, a generous array of deftly crafted work, memorable for its storytelling, imagery, and verbal music. Even readers unfamiliar with Salem will find it captivating."?XJ Kennedy
