Cathedral of Nervous Horses: New & Selected Poems

Poetry. "W. E. Butts is a poet for whom the past is still very much alive.... Yet these poems about the past are energized by something much stronger than nostalgia. For Butts, past events can resonate with profound and positive results into the present. He knows that life is full of joys and sorrows...in his honest, unpretentious, accepting, and affirmative voice, he tends to find something magical in it, something worth celebrating."—David Allan Evans, South Dakota Poet Laureate
