This book by Gerald Hausman marks the author’s third book of poems since New Marlboro State which Gary Snyder called “fine poems, clear and inside / outside of things.” The theme of Runners is not the mere physical act of long-distance running, but the art of direction-finding in life.

Whether he is up north in a New England blizzard or jogging along the Mississippi, Gerald Hausman invests his work...
