Description
BIRDS AND THE TRICK OF TIME sings of the fortitude passed through generations and through living on the fringes, through loving and endings, and the pauses that fall between people. They sing, too, of the natural world and its wisdom. A few poems dare touch on the trick of time.
"These are the marvelous poems of a life lived on the edge of the wild, homestead poems among the harsh beauties of the far North. Clean language that relies on the natural image to trace out a thin narrative thread and carry the deep feeling within. A mother spinning yarn from the long wool of the sheep's belly, dyed with burdock and beet-skin. The chapped hands of working class youth; night shift at a slaughterhouse, hustling the lumber mill's green chain. I admire their spare lines and Stoic outlook, reminiscent of Gary Snyder or early John Haines." - Joseph Millar, author of Shine
