The Penny Poet of Portsmouth

Focusing on the author's deep friendship with poet Robert Dunn, this memoir reflects on life in early 1990s Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a city now transformed by development. It serves as both an elegy for a lost era and an exploration of solitude amidst contemporary chaos. Through Dunn's off-the-grid existence, the narrative delves into the demands of writing and the essence of creativity, offering a poignant look at a unique friendship and the changing landscape of a once-rough coastal community.
