-Amy Miller, author of Astronauts and The Trouble with New England Girls
Coming Down the Mountain is so lean and direct-and so artfully rendered-that the social realities, geographies, family narratives, and moral concerns of the poet rise up from the page with all their contradictions and revelations. The imperative in this collection is to name and to witness, to bring forth the raw elements of the everyday, to move across great swaths of time the way a raptor moves its weightless shadow across open water. Seasoned with just the right amount of wry observation and humor, and driven by sharp-edged truths, this book will keep you barreling ahead, astonished.
-Michael McGriff, author of Angel Sharpening its Beak and Eternal Sentences
Gary Lark takes the simple acts of rural living and makes them sacred. His unadorned, plain-spoken language rings true at every riffle in the river, every conversation, heartbreak and triumph. This book is an Oregon treasure.
-Henry Hughes, Oregon Book Award-winning poet and author of Back Seat with Fish
