A collection of recent work by post-Beat poet Mark Terrill. Some of these poems first appeared in limited-edition chapbooks or in the numerous journals and magazines to which he is a frequent contributor; others are published here for the first time. Lavishly illustrated with 25 drawings by Jon Langford, and garnished with praise from such luminaries as Anne Waldman, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Joanne Kyger, Great Balls of Doubt delivers images and sentiments ranging from the real to the surreal to the elegiac, with no shortage of humour along the way.

Industry Reviews

"An ally of the Zen wing of the New American Poetry of observation & witness, Mark Terrill's poems receive inspiration from his expansive 'radar dish of conscious-ness.' A solid collection from a vigilant compa?ero of the real work."--Anne Waldman
"It is sweetly familiar to move thru the movement of Mark Terrill's lines--his way, his path, his punch lines--the details of his physical life . . . But Great Balls of Doubt is more than his very sure tour of words on the page--he gives a dimension of culture and living in the moment that is very reassuring."--Joanne Kyger
"Mark Terrill, the true poet and 'forlorn observer' of the world he sees as essentially forlorn, if not absurd, if not entirely hopeless. But his poetry is far from hopeless. It is a hard light to alleviate the situation of the world as he sees it."--Lawrence Ferlinghetti
