| Publisher Description: This is a book of stories and songs and song-like stories celebrating American vernacular and the people who inhabit the land. Mark Todd's poetry lives at the juncture of literature and folklore, a place of language revitalized by actual speech rhythms. Todd's welcoming voice--veering like life itself between sadness and hilarity--should be welcome everywhere poetry is heard. |
