The name of the bow is life, Heraclitus said, but its work is death. In these powerful poems, at once lyrical and concrete, Robert Hill Long attains a profound realization of life by looking unflinchingly into the bull's eye of death.

Review
"The Work of the Bow is intense, edgy but at the same time serene; it builds and moves like a river. There are poems here that are so human and alive they will break your heart and end up leaving it better. This is a beautiful book." --Thomas Lux
