With his inimitable sense of humor and timing, astute awareness of irony, perfect understanding of permissible sentiment, and sheer joy taken in the well-captured image and pleasingly turned phrase, Larry Schug has given us a book of poems not just to enjoy but to remember for years to come." —Scott Owens, author of Eye of the Beholder "Through his poems Larry Schug opens his world to the reader's eyes and in his often terse, sharply honed language, he makes this distinctive place on the margins of a Minnesotan bog and tamarack forest a colorful, quite memorable one.
