The Harmonist at Nightfall "In poems that dazzle with their imagery and music . . . Wagner shows us that right here in Indiana, in this particular spot, we are part of the astonishing story of humankind on earth. This is a thrilling collection full of sleigh bells mixed with thunder." Maura Stanton, author of Immortal Sofa |
