The Last Quadrant

by Peter Gorham ’67
Independently published, 2024

The Last Quadrant by Peter Gorham '67 When the poet turned seventy-five, he realized that he’d entered the last quadrant of a one-hundred-year lifespan.

The poetry in this book, written by an old person for old people, and for the old people many of us will become, reflects this awareness.

Read it if you are, or intend to become, old.
