The TANDEM RIDE and Other Excursions - Poems 1955-2010 (Paperback)

THE TANDEM RIDE is a book that follows the poet, teacher and translator Robert Bagg on various outdoor, deskbound, and romantic adventures, from boyhood through adolescence and maturity into old age. The poems are often composed in narrative blank verse or traditional forms, including Spenserian stanzas and sonnet sequences. Bagg's comfort zone has remained since his college days within the heady precincts of Greek myth, while writing about contemporary subjects in colloquial American speech.
