The Dream and Drink of Freedom

This is a collection of poems written between 1946 and 1986, chronicling both a personal and a social history of the essence of America. It is in fact the second published volume of Dolphin's poetry. The first -- with the same title -- was seized and burnt in 1952 during the McCarthy period. The poems in this collection were written between 1946 and 1986. They range, in the words of one reviewer, "between the gutter and the galaxies, between the mundane and the mystical". Dolphin read his poetry from Paris to London to Texas, incarnating the poet as maker of new dreams and creator of new worlds. The sound comes off the page.
