Todd's a poet with an unmistakable, original voice. He's a lyricist and a sharp-eyed--even say hard-eyed, sometimes--observer of the most tender subjects. Not since Ted Roethke has the natural world had such a testifier. Gotta read this--
Beautiful collection of poetry, can't wait to read more by this author.
