“The collection of poems impressed me with its wide variety, as it explored different facets of the supernatural (or, more specifically, the human spirit). There were moments of humor, horror, sorrow, and nostalgia scattered throughout. I appreciated how the seasons of prairies and landscapes were seamlessly woven into the supernatural themes and language of the poem. The imagery was abundant, and I recognized and appreciated every detail.”

“In this poetry collection Parrish weaves a moody spell with rows of crackling corn husks, the dust of late summer, and the bite of winter. I found it to be like a shadowy walk through a ramshackle barn hung with Andrew Wyeth paintings. Haunting, but didn’t push my low horror threshold too far. There is gothic sorrow, slices of humor, and the writing is tactile with rich language. If you get “landsickness” like I do for the rolling pastures of my childhood, I think you’ll enjoy this nostalgic rustle through tall dried grass. I will enjoy a second read this autumn season.”
