Quiet Men and Their Coyotes

Mark MacAllister's Quiet Men and Their Coyotes is a poetry adventure of amazing depth and intimate connection between the poet and wilderness. Each poem feels like a compelling hike to unexpected discoveries of animals places and their interactions with humans. His fresh original style intensifies spectacular insights of empathy and joy. When I put down Mark's book I feel I'm returning to my campsite and brushing off the leaves.-Tom Dow poet and translator author of Different Gates??A loud heart lives inside these shimmering poems that nudge us awake with wonder. How fortunate we are to accompany Mark MacAllister into all the places he inhabits so fully to hear with him the music of the woods the ghost notes hovering over creeks to visit the faces of the loved and lost to stare into the eyes of what is wild and grow grateful for these abundant moments that teach us to sit still to listen longer to be more alive again.-Matt Cashion author of Last Words of the Holy Ghost
