John Godfrey
(Author)
Description
John Godrey stirs up the necessary darkness.--Clark Coolidge
While others are busy catching their own reflections in the storefront of poetry, Godfrey goes to work on the damage and squalor of the overlooked. His genius rings true.--Peter Gizzi
Over the past three decades, Godfrey has been one of New York City's most surefooted bards--in any type of weather. Private Lemonade weaves a series of ornate lyrics--sketches of a perennial evening and longing within the hum of traffic.
Since 1969, John Godfrey has lived in Manhattan's East Village. He is the author of several collections of poetry, including Push the Mule (The Figures, 2001).
