Red Mud

irtual Artists Collective Poetry always pleases me.  Their books are usually very cohesive, using theme as a major structural element.  Here’s the description of the book from their site:

“Red Mud is elemental: earth, water, blood. Its poems are both lyrical and direct, engaging the reader in a journey through terrain inhabited by distant men and cautious women, guided by the deer, mouse, bird, and fox. The poet, like the moose, who, given mud, makes pleasure of it.”
