Product Description
by Neil Harrison (Author)
"A dog's run leads us into an opening in the continuum, into wildness intercepted by man, taking us into the precise pulse of it all, in this wild place we all know...."
― Allison Hedge Coke, Reynolds Chair of Creative Writing
Platte Valley Review, Senior Editor
"Harrison...draws us into the terrain he knows. He scans his memory for those moments that remain clear and shining years after they happen. Above all, he sheds light on his past and ours in celebration and sorrow. These poems pay attention, and they force the reader to do the same."
―Maria Mazziotti Gillan,
All That Lies Between Us.
"Harrison's poems derive from a curiosity and passion for the out-of-doors.... Individually and collectively these poems offer a marvelous and compelling journey into the animal kingdom, a journey that 'sets us spinning / out once more into the awe-filled everlasting....'"
―William Kloefkorn,
Nebraska State Poet
