Poetry. Ira Joe Fisher's first full-length collection of poems, SOME HOLY WEIGHT IN THE VILLAGE AIR, is written in a soft, pastoral tone, yet these poignant poems strike understanding in a subtle language that is as daring as it is beautiful. In this collection Ira Joe takes us all home only to return from the journey more enriched than when we began.
