In Wooden Nutmegs, Russell Rowland describes a dark world that "looks to belong to ogres," but where the Holy Spirit messes everyones hair as if to say, Lighten up, its okay. These beautifully wrought poems speak to the existential angst that unites us.Familiar with Rowlands other work, I know him to be an honest guide through the rough terrain of faith and the unknown."Nancy Scott, author of One Stands Guard, One Sleeps managing editor of U.S. 1 WorksheetsMany readers will praise Russell Rowlands poems for their sensuous, embodied language others their sometimes dark, sometimes humorous, always compassionate spiritual concerns still others this collections authentic, lived sense of New Hampshires particular geography, ecology, and social life. But what I notice and admire most is a deep engagement with the nature of time in its many manifestations. The "time" in these poems is personal, seasonal, historical, geological, and even astronomical. Readers will be rewarded with artful reminders of both times ferocity and its mercies.Liz Ahl, author of Beating the Bounds, A Thirst Thats Partly Mine, and Home Economics
