Customer Reviews

Inspiring and Transcendent

I read this in three sittings over 2 days and I have to say it is the best poetry I have read in a long time. Subtle hints of Whitman and Neruda are folded into an American West verbage that sweeps you away to wherever Jim was when he wrote. I am rereading it now and I think I may eventually test the physical longevity of this hardback.

There will never be another

There is not enough red wine in the world to make one strong enough to withstand these confessions. Jim Harrison has restored poetry to its original face, and brought it into the present, the future. He stands alone, miles from the hordes that squabble over the scraps of pop culture. Saving Daylight is not just a book: it is an oasis, a place to rest and resurrect.
