Imagine finely-honed, deeply intelligent poetry with the earthy, testosterone-rich tenderness of a bluegrass tune (or a song by that other famous Acuff, the one whose art was country-western). Imagine such poetry written from the perspective of someone who has traversed the globe and spent many years teaching in the Far and Middle East. Then you?ll have some idea of the magnetism and power of Gale Acuff's latest collection.
