Overview
Praise for Dale Herd:
"A world takes place here with extraordinary economy: articulate, fragile, heartfelt."Robert Creeley
"Dale Herd's writing has affected the way I look at the world, as well as opening me up to one more possibility of how to transform the world into words, and his books certainly deserve a place on the highest shelf."American Book Review
From high school love notes to a drug runner's day; from a boy's first fistfight to the unexpected aftermath of a woman's first experience of marijuana, Dale Herd's stories travel the backroads, sending postcards of life as it is lived.
