Poetry. "VANISHING HORIZON is full of gritty and graceful intelligence. Consistently and sumptuously detailed, these poems amount to a kind of landscape of the soul, that aspect of self that runs the gauntlet—weathers, wearies, kneels—then grins and keeps on. It's hard to make a way in this world, to see clearly without coming to deep despair. This book is good light"—Tim Seibles.
