Art of Dying: Poems by Red Hawk

In this collection of ninety new poems, Red Hawk touches raw nerves in a spectrum of vital subjects – from children, nature and family, to God, politics and death. Whether he is telling a funny story about himself, or indicting Western civilisation, from its blindness and cruelty, Red Hawk’s words are always precise, often ruthless, and ultimately compassionate. Unlike so many contemporary poets whose work is lost on the ordinary reader, Red Hawk’s poetry is written for everyone.
