Mary Ruefle"Often, the narrators of these poems look over their moonlit landscapes, finding in them op ..." |

Doug Ramspeck guides readers through the brutality and beauty found in the natural world: the moonlight, “marrow-white, severed, falling bodily / to grass, the hours as permeable as clay” and “dust lifting across the road / as though to form a human shape.” By juxtaposing euph ..." |

Among the entrails we find a simple and sometimes harsh way of life, longing and regret and an ever-present river that feeds, nurtures and coils through the lives of the people it touches.

ORIGINAL BODIES explores the primitive mindset, the ancient brain that exists within us all. Most of us don't believe that three crows in a black willow tree portend death, that a dry steam bed suggests that a spouse or relative will have a miscarriage, that we can read our lives in the entrails of a pickerel frog or in a hognose snakeskin found draped beside a river bank.
