Harrison intertwines surreal images with moments of observation to create wonderfully weird and surprising poems. This collection reminds a person of the urgency of life.

This book will make you remember why you're alive. I am so heartbroken that I will never meet Jim Harrison. What a soul. What a thinker and a genuine lover of the earth. These poems made me weep. Jim got it. He got life and purpose and cosmic scaling. He got birds and fish and land and sky. I read a borrowed library copy of this book and plan to buy it, as it deserves a place on my bookshelves.

4 out of 5 stars because there are a few lines where descriptions of people could have been more inclusive and PC.

Some incredible writing here. Definitely want to read more of his work. And Lorca.

These are very enjoyable poems...most of them just didn't find the right listener in me, hence the rating. I would like to try reading some of Harrison's other poetry collections, though.
