Literature in the right sense, 'news that stay news.' The structure of the verses holds because it lies on a fertile terrain, rich in local culture and in social and spiritual hints...the blind and deaf will be able to see by following the antennas of such poetry. Mary de Rachewiltz, Castle Brunnenberg, Italy If I could remember all of the details of dreams, the delights and confusions and terrors of dreams, then I would have written this book. With his typical skill at creating evocative and surprising images and lyrical music, George Wallace has given this reader dream after tantalizing dream, each bathed in human recognition and often sprinkled with political edginess. Carol Hamilton, Former Poet Laureate, Oklahoma George Wallace is my patron saint of contemporary mystic realism - or maybe that should be realistic mysticism? For those of us privileged to know him, his life flows with the same world-defying rhythm as his words. For those yet to meet the man, the poems in this collection are a foretaste of the transcendent communion with people and the planet that his presence never fails to evoke.
