Feathering Deep

In this third collection of poems by David M. Parsons, as in both his previous books, the reader will be carried to many geographies, both physical and cerebral. The poems, perhaps the most eclectic and revealing, return to Austin, Texas, in the turbulent and carnal sixties, the sublime Hill Country streams, north to a Montana’s Mystic Lake and to hallowed Indian battle grounds. As Parsons leads with the deftness of a wise and worldly guide, you will travel the tender valves of the heart, where all creativity finds its passion, to the very quay, that zone between reality and the possible, what Garcia Lorca called duende.
