From the Publisher
Walter McDonald is the Paul W.Horn Professor of English and the Director of Creative Writing at Texas Tech University. His eight previously published collections have made him a major poetic voice in America.
"...this collection, which launches a new poetry series, contains luminous writing.... McDonald's evocion of nature and farming is impressively simple, but suggests mystery and depth..."
- Publishers Weekly
"West Texas is his birthplace and home-Lubbock to be exact-and the earth he describes there is complex. The place has a mysterious interior quality for him that bristles with contentiousness....
"Through memory and invention McDonald recreates rhythms of calamity and order....In [his newer poems] of grief and necessity, wonder and love, McDonald emerges as an increasingly valuable literary treasure."
-James Hoggard in The Texas Observer
