Description: The landscape of Holaday Mason's poems is most often a haunted, nocturnal landscape, a landscape of broken dreaming and failing blossoms, of shadows that shift with the wind, an erotic and dangerous and beautiful place. Mason shows us a world that's dark and graceful, full of human doom, and of love. She writes with a breathtaking--sometimes breathless--lyricism, with extravagant passion and with unflinching nerve. -- book description by Cecilia Woloch.
