Late Summer Plums Kevin L Cole

"musically elegant and gracefully lyric" - Lee Ann Roripaugh "It is like hiking the seasons with a perceptive guide, one who encourages us to bend low and listen to the rhythms of the wild. These poems cast light on shattercane, bleached bones, and sleeping fox snakes so that we might see ourselves a little better. Through careful word choice and flinty awareness, these sinewy poems root us to the land and remind us of what rests off the beaten path." - Patrick Hicks "Montaigne, Wordsworth and Darwin peep out of these lyrical reveries about a mostly frozen and forgotten world whose smallest details Cole rakes to new life." - James Soderholm
