New and Selected Poems, 1980-1999

Selections from 7 books plus new poems by one of the premier poets of the Middle West and Great Plains region. From grasslands to mountains and river, Low's vision never fails to find the human qualities that imbue nature with meaning. She is one of the most original voices among the nature writers. William Stafford praises Denise Low's book Spring Geese: "This book is a delight. Low got to use so many good words in diligent pursuit of accuracy. I am going to be learning from this book." Jo McDogall writes "The energy of Low's voice lovingly complements the subjects it describes; it never intrudes . . . .she knows her surroundings. She has incorporated her sense of place into a vision of maturity and awe." Midwest Q. Victor Contoski writes, "Low's voice unifies. Her lines leave a hushed silence in their wake."
