Tom Hennen gives voice to the prairie and to rural communities, celebrating--with sadness, praise, and astute observations--the land, weather, and inhabitants. In short lyrics and prose poems, he reveals the detailed strangeness of ordinary things. This volume is Hennen's long-overdue introduction to a national audience.

Review by Library Journal Review

In his introduction, Jim Harrison tellingly likens Hennen's work to that of former poet laureate Ted Kooser. Hennen writes simply and affectingly of rural life in the heartlands, where "Night doesn't fall/ It rises out of low spots." He's been publishing since 1974 but is receiving national distribution only now; many readers will appreciate this evocation of a life not as commonly portrayed in contemporary verse.-BH (c) Copyright 2013.
