Gary DembsÕ second book of poetry, Fingerprints on Silk, touches on over 35 years of creativity and inspiration and are culled from over 3, 000 of his poems. His first book Thimble Flood, was published in 2015.
This third collection of poems (Thimble Flood, Fingerprints on Silk) entitled Approaching Woodward, takes a hard look at the city, sporadically through the 1980Õs and 90Õs and early 2000Õs, leading up to most of the poems which fill this volume from 2012-2019 encompassing the recession years, the Grand Bargain and the halting return of AmericaÕs Greatest City. A poetic tour de force of the grit and glitz, which defines Detroit.
