About The Borrowing Days:These poems contain a sprawling, restless intelligence. They stream with music and brim over with the hopes and disappointments of the hidden heart. They are marked by bravery: unafraid to examine what is ugly and harsh, unafraid to range and ramble through time, myth, literature, landscape, and the many-channeled rivers of the mind. Alive with song, The Borrowing Days returns us to the sweep and plunge of what it means to live this life that is marked and bounded by death.- Sarah Stickneyauthor of "Portico" winner of the first annual Emrys chapbook prize.
