Review:
"In this fluid collection we enter a galactic expanse where absence, distance and fire repel and attract lovebodies in a winged-whirl of magnetic mad flight. Loss, emptiness, space, desire, blood, memory; all devour themselves in the combustions of love without self. The you/other may be interchangeable, never static or frozen or attainable. In these sharp-beaked bird-worlds there is 'no going back' - at best, bodies meet only 'flame to flame,' mutable and razor-like in feathery, impermanent forms. I find Hunter's new work a rare melding of Blues, Kabbalah and personal transcendence - a piercing, hard-won angelic love mantra. A blazing tour de force!" - Juan Felipe Herrera (California Poet Laureate) "What lies here are the vagaries of a heart wounded, shattered, and redeemed by love. Such generosity of spirit deserves acclaim. A bravura work." - Richard Wagamese (author of Indian Horse)
