Dust of Just Beginning

Don Kerr knows prairie culture better than most – he knows itfrom the inside out. He has made us aware of ourselves through hisnumerous volumes of poetry, his fiction, his many plays, his histories,and his interest in heritage. In this mature, accomplished collection,we can once again admire his unique prairie voice – minimalist,self-effacing, direct yet subtle and nuanced, immersed in his love ofthe vernacular language of this place. His line is muscular, his timingimpeccable, his sweep with so few words exemplary.
