Steelhead - Paperback

"A wonderful tension rides along with the current of each poem in this lovely book-the rift between reality and passion, the pang between an earlier, freer life and a more mature one, and the temptation that floods the distance between doubt and faith. At no point in the book does the poet seek to resolve these rich and persuasive tensions, and that tells me we're in the life-giving province of art. This is a deeply satisfying book to read, filled to the brim with spot-on imagery and set adrift with well-timed phrasing and lines and sudden pauses that make the entire flow come alive with love and candor."

-Maurice Manning, author of The Common Man, Pulitzer Prize Finalist
