Wind Thrashing Your Heart

From Hagios Press comes Don Kerr's tenth book of poetry. In Wind Thrashing Your Heart, Kerr turns his considerable craft and wit to the contemplation of "love lost/ among the tall grass/ and pungent sage".

Here is a passionate, thoughtful, and humorous look at love, landscape, and the people of the prairies. With a ceaseless intuition for bedrock truths, he overturns our well-worn perceptions and leaves us grinning in the process. This collection of poems is the call to love itself.
