Description
""Such longing! 'These days I wrestle no angels. I wrestle / with words. And no one is saved.' writes Randy Lundy. In Something for the Dark, he presents tapwewina--truths drawn from the hand dealt and the life lived. 'Nothing is hidden, ' he suggests, if we take the time to observe from a distance and wait in silence.""--Rita Bouvier, author of a beautiful rebellion ""There are poems in this book that see to the very centre of things, through violence, through failure, through emptiness, to the staggering beauty and freedom at their core.""--Jan Zwicky ""With a Hanshan eye, Lundy sits on his deck and reports back the beautiful, ravaged face of the world. His gaze is ruthless and compassionate. He misses nothing.""--Tim Lilburn author of The Names
