Pitt Poetry Series

<i>Love on the Streets</i> is a selection from two of Doubiago's book-length poems, <i>Hard Country</i> and <i>South America Mi Hija</i> and from the collections <i>Psyche Drives the Coast</i> and <i>Body and Soul,</i> plus new poems. <i>Hard Country</i> takes place in 1976, on a journey across the U.S. with a lover, climaxing on the lake where his mother drowned herself when he was ten. <i>South America Mi Hija</i> is a journey the poet made with her 15 year-old daughter to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. <i>Psyche Drives the Coast</i> are poems written while Doubiago lived mainly on the road, and in diverse, passionate communities of poets from Mendocino to the Canadian border. <i>Body and Soul</i> was written while she was a resident of Oregon, and the new poems are written from her present home in San Francisco.
