Brendan Galvin stopped counting his published poems once he hit 900. The longtime Truro resident has new poems out at 18 different magazines.
“It doesn t do you any good to let them hang around the house,” he said.
Over the years, Galvin’s poems have appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The Atlantic, The Paris Review, Harper’s Magazine, and Kenyon Review, among many others. Galvin’s latest collection, “Partway to Geophany,” came out in November.
Galvin first began writing seriously 57 years ago. “It felt like I had added a new room onto my house, and later that my whole life had moved into it. Now, as I read the galleys for my nineteenth book, ‘Partway to Geophany,’ I find myself believing that poetry’s nothing less than food for the soul,” reads his statement about the new book.
