(Paperback)

The poems in this book travel with us up to the door of another life. They are clear and radiant with the fulfillment of having lived a life, loving and being loved. There are hands bathing babies, there is the kiss of the lover; there is plywood and good food. Life becomes its most minute details and yet, opens out into some larger realm.

"The grace of these poems...should be a...lesson: to those who have settled for less...those who...presumed more."

--Jim Krusoe

"[Saltman]'s a fine poet, a genuine one--which is saying a great deal...Lovely...apparent plainness...depth beyond it."

--W.S. Merwin
