Harrison has the poet's gift of making the most everyday occurrences suddenly seem miraculous and fresh."--Kathleen Youmans, <i>Small Press </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jim Harrison is the author of numerous novels, including <i>Legends of the Fall, </i> <i>Julip</i>, and <i>Wolf: A False Memoir. </i> His most recent previous book of poetry is <i>The Theory and Practice of Rivers. </i>
