The total light process

About this book

"The body of James Baker Hall's poetry bears witness to the power, mystery, and sacredness of all things living and dead. The earliest poems collected in The Total Light Process comes straight out of the late-sixties counter-culture and out of a heart filled with hilarity and tenderness." "In the mid-seventies, Hall turned inward to approach his mother's suicide, to learn how to sing grief and how to pray. Through the next two decades, Hall's vision widened to gather in cows, horses, trees, deer, insects, wildflowers, and the school bus."--BOOK JACKET.
