This ravishing collection of love poems threads the journey from youthful innocence throughout life, distilling each wondrous or sad experience to its shining core. Humans, nature, and things are one; music, image, and revelation are one; narrative, lyrical, and mystical are one. Everything communes with everything...woven in eros love, philos love, agape love. Argos MacCallum lives, moves, and has his being in the magnetic field of love where lovers recognize each other. I gasp at every poem. A book you will want to keep close, cherish again and again.
Jane Lipman, author of On the Back Porch of the Moon, winner of the 2013 New Mexico/Arizona Book Award and a NM Press Women's Award
Argos MacCallum's Sleeping Woman Mountain is a refreshing plunge into lyric romanticism. The book is full of beloveds, and the Lorca-like language expresses varieties of love, from the tender hibiscus of kisses to the passionate firestorm of flamenco/from the firepit of her hips. His poems are conspiracies of bliss, about beneficence, such as the unexpected gift of a fixed door to a forlorn, Eleanor Rigby-type character. He speaks of an allowance of grace and a tumult of praise in a text that exudes grace and praise. In our often ominous millieu, MacCallum's poems, discover a trust that powers the world.
