Dale Winslow's poetic vision cuts to the core of human bodily experience: The struggle of psyche and spirit to escape the unremitting reality of the physical and material. The tension between fission and fusion that renders and heals and lends life its fugitive frisson. And the dark wings of language that lift and soar while at the same time casting a deep, dense shadow on the surfaces of the earth below. Heed now my warning: This is poetry that transports and transforms. Read these poems and you will be different. Read these poems and you will be changed. Read these poems and you will never be the same. --Lance Strate author of Diatribal Writes of Passage in a World of Wintertextuality
