Book excerpt: In this fifth collection, Terri Kirby Erickson's poems "take us to the mysteries of the natural world and the world of family and friends with magical sureness. The language is almost biblical in its intensity and rhythms. Whether dancing to zydeco on 'floorboards glowing like embers' or playing the slots in a casino where 'loss howls from the hills,' we are swept along by Erickson's masterful use of movement and mood."
