Poetry. Winner of the 2010 Robert Dana, Anhinga Prize for Poetry. "It's not just that these vivid, sometimes anxious, sometimes faith-full, consistently gorgeous lyrics surprise us, but that we don't know how they will surprise next. Image? Deliciously archaic word choice? Sudden wit or disarming sincerity? These and more make this meditation in nature's church a compelling read, as the speaker seeks to evolve beyond mere survival, to see abundance and live with abandon, 'to see what the partridge sees' and to answer the call to be 'a part of plenty.'"—April Ossmann
