註釋

"In these poems is a spirit that dives into prairie grasses and travels among root systems and bones before surfacing to speak in visionary tongues: telling fortunes from the frozen moons of fingernails; speaking in the grainy, sepia-toned voices of windblown wives in hardscrabble 19th century Kansas; blues-tuning in Colorado and filtering New Mexico through a new language that flutters and swirls on wind that stings like a knife. 'What use for history?' Peter Ludwin asks in 'Bluestem, ' but in this book of fundamentalists and hippies, conquistadors and Anasazi spirits, history is the ghost in the land and the settlers' steel plow. It is what makes this gorgeous book of gorgeous poems into a vision ringing like white bone, built from the earth like adobe and crafted out of the transcendent West, 'a ballet of blood moons/ splashing a haunted piano' "--Back cover.
