Publisher's Synopsis
This selection of poetry spans work written between 1985 and 2005. Two separate collections of individual incidental poems are distinguished by candor and wonder; the rest are long segmented poems or poem sequences that accumulate, each telling a story. The spirit that unites these chapters is the theme of being haunted by an elusive memory of past glory and shame, and the will to lift one's Neolithic soul from Butcher Bean Creek and lyrically take wing.
