“Davidson is equally adept with a microscope and a telescope as he moves through the tenuous fabric of his days, taking his readers into the beauty and heartbreak of the WZHQW\ ¿UVW FHQWXU\ A gorgeous book.”—Barbara Hamby, author of Bird Odyssey

“Forged by tender observations, these poems seek to uncover personal histories half-buried under layers of dirt and ash. They burn bright with elegy and longing for a father, a home, a memory of a life left behind.”—Vandana Khanna, author of Train to Agra

“There is something private in these carefully wrought poems, not confession but intimacy. We sit within a small circle of light and listen to Williamson’s unhurried voice . . . I’m grateful for the echoing music made in the space between present and past.”—Keetje Kuipers, author of All Its Charms

Leslie Williams

“The ¿QHO\ ZRUNHG DQG DVWRQLVKLQJO\ beautiful poems in Even the Dark are prayers and meditations that ask the PRVW GLI¿FXOW TXHVWLRQV DERXW VXIIHULQJ² our own, and others’—without losing VLJKW RI WKH LQ¿QLWH ULFKQHVV WR EH IRXQG in small, daily moments. . . . Immense sadness is counterbalanced by intensity of insight; raw loss is transformed by the poet’s spiritually attuned wisdom, worthy of absolute trust.” —Jennifer Barber, author of Works on Paper

The Gospel according to Wild Indigo Cyrus Cassells Paper: 978-0-8093-3660-9 E-book: 978-0-8093-3661-6 $15.95, 112 pages

“The Gospel according to Wild Indigo is a formal achievement for the sheer beauty and musicality of the verse, but is also much more: it is a prayer book, a testament, a lover’s discourse, and a philosopher’s stone. Richly peopled with characters living and dead, personal and famous (including Saint Joan, Keats, Robert Graves, and Van Gogh), the individual lines are what architects might call ‘load-bearing walls’: they give but don’t crumble under the corporeal weight the speaker puts upon them, with a bravura display of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs: an ‘unlatched treasure trove’ of lavish excess that both overjoys and sates the senses.”—Virginia Konchan, Kenyon Review
