Description
Walt McDonald has paid tribute to us, to poetry, to the human experience. With empathy and generosity, this poet has lived and listened. He's looked hard at things we might never have seen had he not done so. To read this poetry is to understand what a life lived with such openness and attention might offer the poet himself, and also what it might cost, and what his willingness to pursue such a vision offers the rest of us and will go on offering his readers for generations to come." - Laura Kasischke, from the foreword
