Clemency
by Robert Wrigley
Read "Highway 12, Just East of Paradise"
“Robert Wrigley is an historian of the present. His smart, moving poems are attuned to the drama of the moment, and his honest, musical language lifts real experience deftly into art.”
--Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate
This collection of poems by the award-winning author of In the Bank of Beautiful Sins (Viking, 1995), offers an array of epiphanies: perceptions on and experiences with wildlife: wolf, owl, geese, deer, skunk . . . as we’ve not read before.
