Summary
Novelist Jim Harrison claims that poetry "is the portion of my life that means the most to me." Most fans of his fiction may not know that, since 1965, he has published as much poetry as he has fiction. This collection covers some of the same subjects that his novels do: relationships with women, food, hunting, and nature. It includes poems from his first collection, PLAIN SONG (1965), as well as from his seven subsequent volumes, plus new poems.

Publisher's Notes
Collecting all the major poetry from forty years, this volume amply demonstrates why novelist and poet Jim Harrison has been called "one of the most authentic voices of his time." By turns caustic, tender and comic, Harrison's poems chronicle and celebrate the often overlooked beauty and transcendence of the seemingly ordinary.
