Lord Byron`s Foot – Poems

George Green’s poems have appeared in various journals and in the anthologies Poetry 180; 180 More Poems; The Best American Poetry 2005, and 2006; Bright Wings: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems about Birds; and The Swallow Anthology of New American Poets. He teaches at Lehman College, CUNY, in the Bronx.

George Green’s poems are full of wit, lore, and extraordi­nary twists. They converse delightfully of cultures high and low, yet with a vision which recognizes in Warhol’s portraits “a frightful vacancy and transience,” and can see in twinkling Sirius “a loose bulb on the drunkard’s porch that flickers.” His constantly amusing discourse has an enriching darkness which transcends the comic.  —Richard Wilbur
