About the Author
Reviews
--David St. John
"Donovan's new book collects a wisdom poetry with all the peril that this implies--not the glamorous jeweled armpit of some Greek oracle who can place large crystals of salt in your brain, but that and the wonder of fragrant basil in the goat manure outside the entrance to her cave. These are our first ideas, our oldest ideas made memorable again. A brilliant book."
--Norman Dubie
"Lush in sound and image, the poems in Torn from the Sun look through the lenses of natural, personal, and collective history to ask how we endure in loss and in beauty. I loved this opening couplet from 'Ravens at Tamalpais' 'Bald white trunk & dead black bark, toc-toc. Small shrugs / in long black coats, their stripped pine whipping at the skyline . . .' Donovan offers us a deep and immersive read, full of loving detail and thought."
