The Pagan Rain

Few poets can render a landscape, whether interior or exterior, more keenly and poignantly. Here is a poet who listens to language and lets it lead him into the heart of the poem with authority and grace.––Kathryn Stripling Byer, author of Wildwood Flower and Black Shawl. Holt's poems are as vivid as photographs, as stark at times as Walker Evans, as warm as Doris Ullman.––Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek and The Strange Attractor.
