    About this ebook

    this powerful book is the seventh collection of poems by michael poage. through his original and fresh use of language, metaphor, sound and space, mr. poage creates a worldview for the reader that is both accessible and mysterious. this worldview moves from the plains of Kansas to the critical tragedies of bosnia and the middle east, from his insightful witness of this world's realities to the lucid vision of his own internal life. each poem is a beginning and ending but, at the same time, connects with every other poem in, and so it goes, to build a landscape of intrigue, welcome, and caution.
