Description

"I was struck by the wisdom of this work, a quiet wisdom that inheres in images so fully imagined that one can never forget them. The language has been so thoroughly purified that truth becomes, in the telling, austerely beautiful."Jay Parini

"There's no word for what Young does, only for what he accomplishesthe capturing of small, daily miracles."Dorianne Laux

Gary Young is one of the country's best known prose poets and his unique, sinuous, brief style has a flavor all its own. This collection includes work selected from six previously published volumes and two unpublished sequences of new work.

Gary Young lives in Santa Cruz, California.
