In Wind's Edge

Publisher: Asphodel Press

In poetry that is spare, seductive, and visually compelling, Ralph Mills observes the natural world around him. Each poem here has a freshness and clarity that is like watching leaves flutter in the breeze. The combination of the poet's intense observations of nature and his daring use of line fragments conveys an elegant, concentrated emotional power.
