The Work of the Bow is intense, edgy but at the same time serene; it builds and moves like a river. There are poems here that ar so human and live they will break your heart and end up leaving it better. This is a beautiful book.

-Thomas Lux

Many of the poems in Work of the Bow have appeared in The Best American Poetry, High Plains Literary Review, The Iowa Review, The Kenyon Review, and Virginia Quarterly Review.
