AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY is passionate poetry about openings- opening the door to home, to the greatness of life, to love and its companions- joy and gratitude.
These poems have been scraped off the wall of
Steve Jackson's everyday life and carefully sifted through an exquisite prism of awareness. He sees the light because he's seen and felt the darkness-
lived for months out of his pickup and heard a 100 silent doors slam behind him. But there is no bitterness here.
His poems are an accessible, glowing testament of a conscientious witness with an uncanny knack for isolating precise words and the exact inflection of a moment-
which he freezes into language that allows readers to extract the poem's purest essence.
If Dante's Inferno is a guided descent into the hideous abyss,
then AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY is the reverse-
an ascendance into light and the lightness of being-
an affirmation that "This is your home-
the universe-/ the universe loves you."
