Book Review: |
|
A majestic bald headed eagle has landed in a soybean field to feast upon a dead raccoon, and nearby buzzards back away awkwardly. The eagle comes to earth majestically, inviolably, the uncontested master of the horizon, a carrion eater; no fresh kill required. The scene is part of the unfolding seasons in this short book of poetry, a chronicle of life and death in the fields of a Midwest farm.
