These poems read as though they were written by the love child of the Brothers Grimm and my high school football coach. There's an ogre, a goose-girl, a prince, a woodsman, and bloody knights errant, to be sure, but there's also a voice throughout that urges us to suck it up, shake it off, play with pain. It's still the Middle Ages, folks-angry lovers, drunk drivers who missed the curve, philosophical cattle ranchers abound in a world full of so much danger and beauty that we need a troubadour to wander through it with us, to organize what we see and help us understand. What's that twang, you say? Why, it's Reagan Upshaw over there on the haymow, tuning his lute.
