Summary: Fantastic!
Comment: Wrigley is a poet who speaks to all sorts of readers, not just a specialized few. His poems are usually very accessible, but not easy to put into other words, because they are so wonderfully written. Buy this book and read the poem "Conjure." It's as beautiful a love poem as you'll ever fine. Read the long series of poems that give the book its title: scary, exciting, and like all Wrigley's poems, beautiful. Even the italicized poems that are spaced through the book--they are impossible to paraphrase, but they are the kind of poems that make the hair on your neck stand up and chills slide down your spine. I can't wait for this poet's next book.

Summary: Nature 101 aka Poetry of the Enviroment
Comment: Anyone that has spent anytime in the great ourdoors, be it hunting, fishing or just observing nature, will find something to identify with in Wrigley's poems. He reaches a part of us long ago forgotten and touches our primitive soul, igniting our memory like the wind whipping at a dying coal. Highly recommended.

Summary: Spellbinding, Beautiful, and true
Comment: There are poems in this book that go deeper into that place that poetry can go than the work of any other poet I've read in years. They make a good ache. They make you want what you can't quite imagine. They make you understand something you can't find the words for. But this poet could and did. Some of the poems are strange, but even when they are strange, they make you feel what one critic described as Wrigley's "delicious melancholy." It really is like being under a spell, and it's beautiful.
