Private Lemonade

Author: John Godfrey

Publisher: Adventures in Poetry (2003)

Over the past three decades, Godfrey has been one of New York City’s most surefooted bards—in any type of weather. Private Lemonade weaves a series of ornate lyrics—sketches of a perennial evening and longing within the hum of traffic.

"John Godfrey stirs up the necessary darkness."

–Clark Coolidge

"While others are busy catching their own reflections in the storefront of poetry, Godfrey goes to work on the damage and squalor of the overlooked. His genius rings true."

–Peter Gizzi
