Description

Through metaphoric evocations of the human spiritual impulse, with its absurdity, mystery, folly and glory, the poems in Beacons, Blues and Holy Goats bring together prairie and ocean, sparrow and salmon, loss and redemption, suffering and psalmody, the hollow and the hallowed. They are an offering of hope and delight through absence and pain, and are expressive of the awful beauty of the fragile and momentary.
