Editorial Reviews

Review

"In her impressive debut,...the seeds of [Haaland's] creative strength germinate in crystals of mythology and the telling of dreams." -- Joel Weishaus, Philadelphia Inquirer

"She seems blessed with a wonderfully nimble and fearless imagination." -- Askold Melnyczuk

"Tami Haaland's poems touch the interior of the world...Like a whale's song, they are recursive - eddying, building." -- Sandra Alcosser

Product Description

Winner of the 14th annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize for a first book of poems, Tami Haaland's collection includes gritty, uplifting poems set in Montana, haunting poems about growing up on the Plains, and tender lyrics celebrating children and family life. This is a book as quiet, yet as memorable, as that one, distinctive breath in every room.
