Skilled poets write about the world around them, as the senses reveal it. Glenn Jones does this with vital language and engaging metaphor. But he does something more. Jones captures the essence of things, the ethereal world deep inside the world we see. In doing so, he transforms the outer world into something other. Like Whitman, Jones begins with the earth itself, finding the spiritual in the grit of labor and the sensuality of love. Part memoir, part meditation, part poetry, this impressive first volume reminds the reader of what it is to be truly human. Charan Sue Wollard
