Solo Duet by Greg Nelson

In Solo Duet, his first collection of poems, poet, teacher and depression survivor Greg Nelson weaves a timeless story of heartbreak and rebirth. After his marriage falls apart, he suffers profound disillusionment, but finds redemption in his bond with his young son, in the cycles of nature, in solitude and reflection, and in romantic love. Nelson received an MFA in poetry from George Mason University. Several years ago, after a brief hiatus of twenty-six years, he resumed submitting his poems to literary publications. As John Lennon says, “Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.” Before the interlude, his poems appeared in Phoebe, Poet Lore, the minnesota review, Artemis and elsewhere. Publications since include Atlanta Review, CATHEXIS Northwest Press, The Letter Review (Winner of The Letter Review Prize for Poetry), and Humana Obscura, among others.
