An old letter from you--I close my eyes to read the rest.

The shoe does not know there's another. 

The laugh down the hall.  The rented morning.

She remembers having wings.

I thought you touched me but it was the rain

This Early Dark is a valuable and inspirational collection.

I find it astonishing how each sentence creates an invisible story

that rises like a fog from the words and ends with a question mark.

Michael Cadnum is the author of thirty-eight books,

both fiction and poetry, including Saint Peter's Wolf 

and the National Book Award Finalist The Book of the Lion.

This Early Dark presents micro-poetry and

ultra-flash fiction written over a forty-year period, 

and brings to further life Cadnum's fascination

with desire and discovery.     

Cadnum knocks us off our platitudes

and sends us sliding elsewhere...

and we are smoothly swept

into a new field of perception.
