Poetry. "Wally Swist's poems are lean and clean to the bone. Meditations on nature, love, sanity and evil are limned with grace and clarity. Finally, though, this book is a celebration, the way one man coming face to face with a fox is a kind of celebration"—James Tate. "To read a Wally Swist poem is to see a piece of the world in a special way. A whole book of such poems is a blessing"—Gary Metras.
