Wild in the Dawn - Rob Hunter - Bog

Those living in Vermont can easily identify with Rob Hunter's poems in his newest book, Wild in the Dawn. Humorous, eloquent, realistic, they portray the small dramas of day-to-day life in a town surrounded by mountains, forest, and their animal inhabitants. If nature is always present, so are people, and often there is tension between the two. Yet these poems are not confined to place, as they touch on universal subjects such as love, beauty, loss. Something memorable is encapsulated in every ending stanza. All speak to our humanity, all satisfy.-Alice Wolf Gilborn author of Apples & Stones
These poems startle one with their certain honesty and humane gravity. All the small fears and daily events that engulf us are here. A torrent of visions and dreams broken in the cold dawn of mice and crow. Houses that are homes and the home that is our body. These poems are not simply to visit, but to inhabit. Rob Hunter makes you welcome.-Greg Joly author of Village Limits
