““This is a book of close and ecstatic attention to life out of doors on North America’s Great Central Plains . . .” ”
A new book of poems!
These poems are at once plangent and wise, fired by exacting observation of the changes that mark the natural world—the diminishing woods, the surging birdsong in spring—as well as each stage of human life. This collection sings our astonishment and our fear at how life makes and unmakes us through every love and every grief.

"The Time of the Great Singing is a field guide to the bird we are always looking for . . ."
