-Christine Hope Davis, Skin, Bone Feather (winner of the Tusculum Review Poetry Prize)
These poems lead the reader down seemingly familiar paths (nature, memory, country scenes) only to present unexpected twists - including poems on Kansas twisters - that surprise and delight. Kansas skies yield puffed clouds innocuous as the beard of God, a full moon becomes a communion wafer/dissolving in/October dawn, and the town's brush pile is a smoldering Gehenna. This sophisticated collection shines with story, speculation, history, and humor.
-Maril Crabtree, author of Fireflies in the Gathering Dark
-Maryfrances Wagner - 6th Missouri Poet Laureate, Solving for X
-Gary Lechliter, Managing Editor, I-70 Review.
With an eye for detail and an ear for each word's music, Lewis brings us the world of childhood and growing up, adulthood, and the world of heritage and myth-all the things that make up a good life, through its struggles and joys. You can live or relive them here in stark and loving detail: lucid, vivid, rendered with poignancy and great care.
--Kevin Rabas, Poet Laureate of Kansas, 2017-2019, While Away: Travel Poems (with Garcia and Seaton)
