Adam Day’s Left-Handed Wolf offers short lyrical meditations and narratives that wrestle with contemporary issues of the environment, spirituality, and the social. These compact, imagistic poems welcome space and silence as a way of addressing both the commonality and complexity of people and experience. Day’s poems—influenced by meditation practice, as well as by classical Japanese and Chinese verse—are serious and bawdy, reverential and impertinent, accessible and eclectic, yet unified in their tone, atmosphere, and sensibility.
Adam Day is the author of Model of a City in Civil War.
