Sight Is No Carpenter, Poems by Art Homer
From the rural center of the Plains States, Nebraska, comes the graceful formal voice of Art Homer. Homer's poetry is an understated witness to experiences both stark and beautiful; his lines are always buiding, always making.
"Rich in appreciation of lore and language that is still tinged with Old English, and of a people in many ways unchanged for ages."--Publishers Weekly
"These poems have a somber and enduring magnificence. They are a testament to the salvational nature of all art, when that art has been fully lived and, what is rarer, fully wrought."--Jonathan Holden
