Reaction to Clubland:

“Morrison’s rock star past haunts much of his writing, but his eye for detail and his razor-sharp sense of humor elevate his words into something much more than that — something visceral and anchored in the real world, whether it’s in the past or the present.” (Emily Burnham, Bangor Daily News)

“Morrison can be trusted to not waste your time; every poem is worth the read. He never missteps in his wistful yet frank look at the bars, motels, managers, band members and girl friends that make up the world of Boston rock. It's a perfect book for late night with a drink…” (Paul Lovell, Boston Groupie News) < Less

About Dave Morrison

Author Image

Hailed as 'A hearty weed in the garden of American poetry' Dave Morrison's work has been widely published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer’s Almanac. After years of playing guitar in rock & roll bars in Boston and NYC, he currently resides in coastal Maine. Clubland, a collection of poems about rock bars written in verse, was published in 2011 by Fighting Cock Press. Clubland is DM’s seventh book.

“By tapping into his tumultuous past, Morrison has created work that is not only technically sound, but viscerally engaging. His is no passive verse; it grabs you by the collar and demands your attention.” (Allen Adams, themaineedge.com)
