Set along the Mississippi River in the blufflands of Wisconsin and Minnesota,
Timothy Young's poems have a "lived life in them", as Robert Bly once wrote.
This collection of poems, Young's second, examines the elemental mysteries of
everyday life--of the woods, the river, of dying, birth, family secrets, of
work, love, and the soul's desire for ecstatic experience--and Young finds
expression for their emotional edges. Although each poem is rooted in the daily
experience of the physical world, each one resonates with unseen relationships
to history, expectation, memory, and imagination.
