Reviews
--Philip Metres
There is a strong, almost transcendent, sense of place in the poetry of David Adams. He tells you right away where you are as you read each poem in this book. The images are in focus, and rendered with the precision of a technical writer, but there is nothing technical about the emotional impact of the poems, which will take you on a journey from his Cleveland Ohio roots to the far side of the world, and back.
--R.C. Wilson, Edith Chase Symposium Association
