Recenzje

"<> is a delight. Like Jeffers' hawk and sense of nature it is grounded, informed, and it is poetic and passionate. Alan Malnar has gone deep into the world of hawks and into Jeffers' use of this image and explores where these meet as 'words of prey.' His book is a wild read." Peter Quigley, ex-president, Robinson Jeffers Association
