Cullowhee, NC: New Native Press, 1997. First Edition. Softcover. Signed by publisher Thomas Rain Crowe. "There is a woods/ deep beyond the woods-/ Where the seas remove their waves/ using every tooth and every claw:/ link by link, woven thread by woven thread,/ bar by spoken bar by bar-/ And ride the hills and shallows/ of every split hourglass/ with the gentlest whips/ of laughter and sadness,/ rocking masts and shores and maps/ with sweet, beating cracks/ of pearls and tears,/ to a dreaming sleep-" ("The Woods Beyond the Woods," first stanza, pg. 5) A collection of poems by Danielle Truscott, an acclaimed poet, editor & impresario who at the time she wrote these poems was a resident of Asheville, NC.
