My best known poem is the dramatic monologue/verse play, Manhattan Carnival, which was performed onstage in NYC, LA, and Cambridge. I wrote it when I was 33, and it was published 8 years later by a small press. It was one of two books that were Pultizer Prize finalists. My publisher was told that it didn't win because the Pultizer committee wanted to give the prize to a big press book. Wade Newman and other have written that it started the Expansive Poetry/New Formalism movement. Most of it was published in the Kenyon Review, under Frederick Turner's editorship. All of can be found at this link.
