Trade Review
“Gary Short’s poems live dangerously. They look hard at love and life and give us, finally, the gifts of beauty, honesty, and wisdom. … Reading this tender and powerful book, we are ourselves made more human, and more humane. We are gently and persuasively blessed.” -Jury Report of the Western States Book Awards 1996

-Winner of the 1996 Western States Book Award for poetry
