This is a book of stories and songs and song-like stories celebrating American vernacular and the people who inhabit the land. Mark Todd's poetry lives at the juncture of literature and folklore, a place of language revitalized by actual speech rhythms. Todd's welcoming voice—veering like life itself between sadness and hilarity—should be welcome everywhere poetry is heard.
