Praise for Dale Herd:
"A world takes place here with extraordinary economy: articulate, fragile, heartfelt."
—Robert Creeley
"Dale Herd's writing has affected the way I look at the world, as well as opening me up to one more possibility of how to transform the world into words, and his books certainly deserve a place on the highest shelf."—
