The Wheel: Poems

Poetry. THE WHEEL is a survey of the turning circles and cycles of religion, history, politics, myth, nature, and culture, from Stonehenge to the war in Iraq, from tree rings to the "circular edge of the urban" separating the wild from the sanitized suburban world that remains firmly in the natural world, no matter what humans think. The poems are provocative, political, humane, and funny. "This is one sweet book. Jordan Jones writes with such a pure voice, offering up all the matters of life that he cares deeply about and the universe requires that we all care about. Very lovely refreshing true poems; it's a book to believe in"--Sandra McPherson.
