Synopsis

These merciless and irresistible poems fuse into a landscape of intimate close-ups, whether of buffalo bellowing their dominance in Yellowstone, the touch of the wife's hands covered with dough, or the gravestone of the poet's brother. For lovers of nature and of this harsh and amazing earthly life, this book is a feast of bracing, supple imagery that's the opposite of the anemic and academic. These poems live; they breathe; they show off the trophies of their scars. - Oriana Ivy is a widely published poet and translator. Author of three prize-winning chapbooks
