Learning to Talk Again

Learning to Talk Again by Jim Doss touches upon the poet's memories of growing up in Central Virginia as well as time spent in Maryland and Arizona. The poetry in this book is rich lyrical and full-bodied covering themes of family place love and war with many poems of tribute contained between its pages...A powerful multi-layered richly lived and beautifully imagined book of poems--as good as any first book of poems I've read and far better than most. I will continue to reread it many times in eager anticipation of other work yet to come. Sandford Lyne
