“These are the marvelous poems of a life lived on the edge of the wild, homestead poems among the harsh beauties of the far North. Clean language that relies on the natural image to trace out a thin narrative thread and carry the deep feeling within…. I admire their spare lines and Stoic outlook, reminiscent of Gary Snyder or early John Haines.” — Joseph Millar, author of Shine
Pre-order signed copies of BIRDS AND THE TRICK OF TIME here! (Unsigned available at booksellers June 24.) If you would like to review BIRDS AND THE TRICK OF TIME, please request a review copy by responding to this email. As always, thank you for supporting independently published poets and poetry!
