SOLITON

Poems Published in Journals

This is Roald's fourth poetry collection, published by Truman State University Press in 2002. The book is out-of-print, but available on the usual used book sites. The full text is reproduced in a PDF file "SOLITON complete text" below. Also provided is a file with Table of Contents of book.
