One Wild Word Away

When tensions veer between hope and despair, the ensuing fracture can swing like a scytheand cut a ragged seam between past and present.InOne Wild Word Away,Geffrey Davisweaves a deft set of poems about illness, family, loss, and rebirth. The luxurious sonics and crispdescriptions in each line are haunted by grief and buoyed by love as the speaker confrontsgenerational trauma and the loss of a loved one while in the process of raising his own son.
