With 270 poems by William Heyen and 33 full-page lithographs by DeLoss McGraw this book is bold, unique, and enlightening. McGraw’s paintings are visionary and beautifully attuned to the spirit of Heyen’s extraordinary and often mystic poetry. "… the collision of the two cultures at the climactic 1876 fulcrum battle is at the center of the history &amp; the poetry of North America. Stillness &amp; Electricity together know this, dream this, attempt to suggest by way of sound &amp; concentrated story at least some small part of this." – Edwina Seaver

Erika: Poems of the Holocaust

In the title poem of Pterodactyl Rose, the speaker tells us that when he peers into his rearview mirror, he imagines the air behind him filling with the bodies of those ancient creatures his engine is burning. He says he is wild with prayer and longing, as we all are, entering a century that may determine whether mankind will have a long tenure on this planet or will be just another vanished species. In poem after poem here, Heyen probes the roots of our unprecedented ecological crisis and carries us with him.
