You will be surprised by your confrontation with the otterly first rate. - Jim Harrison; ""Just when the possibilities of the prose poem seem exhausted, along comes David Shumate. Beneath his deceptively simple style lurks a vision as haunting as Kafka's and as playful and intelligent as Julio Cortazar's. But Shumate's voice, the authority he brings to his tales, is original and authentic. It's hard to believe High Water Mark is a first book."" - Peter Johnson
