Land of Forgotten Fish - Hardcover

by Wl Gertz (Author)

A bold collection of poems that captures the collisions of memory, history, and dream. From the turbulence of the 1970s to the dissonance of modern times, these verses move through war, solitude, fleeting love, and the strange beauty found in loss. With imagery that is at once haunting and surreal, the collection reflects on survival, disillusion, and the enduring power of art. By turns raw and tender, Land of Forgotten Fish invites readers to pause, reflect, and rediscover what remains when the world forgets.

The author was the co-founder of DREAMS, a poetry and music magazine in NYC in the 1970s and early 1980s. Many of his poems appeared there first. He backpacked through Europe in 1973 and 1974 which inspired much of his writing. He continues to travel extensively each year and enjoys cinema, modern art, and fencing.
