    About this ebook

    A unique collection of poetry and prose poems with a lyrical bent so intense you will find the book almost reading you, in your reflections and re-reading. Subtle nuances and direct metaphors that elicit insights to such an extent that the poet seems to be speaking to each reader personally.
    From Dean J. Baker, author of the poetry collections Silence Louder Than A Train, and The Mythologies Of Love, and the satiric stories of childhood in Baker's Bad Boys.

      That old rage for order: how my father drove a square mouthed mower over-and-back, over-and-back, each row of neatly trimmed grass cut just like he told his barber: boy’s short, regular. O pioneer, taming this joke bit of prairie, no bindweed or dog
