    About this ebook

    Wing Shadows Over Tennessee is a volume of poetry that tills and furrows through a planting of metaphors, myths, and memories. At the plow the poet turns words and shapes from the landscape of Walden Ridge, the Cumberland Plateau where the gardener works with a language that tries to capture how poems grow and harvested through the writing process. The vocabulary of birds and the barks of dogs speak through a cathedral of trees as the poet wanders among the seasons.
