About the Book
Not unlike Orpheus, Joseph Milosch sings a song of earth, a song of work, in a lyric voice that will lure readers to the vivid narratives of a good man’s life.
— Sandra Alcosser, Except by Nature and A Fish to Feed All Hunger
These merciless and irresistible poems fuse into a landscape of intimate close-ups, whether of buffalo bellowing their dominance in Yellowstone, the touch of the wife’s hands covered with dough, or the gravestone of the poet’s brother. For lovers of nature and of this harsh and amazing earthly life, this book is a feast of bracing, supple imagery that’s the opposite of the anemic and academic. These poems live; they breathe; they show off the trophies of their scars.
