Salvage - by Thomas Aslin (Paperback)

About the Book

Salvage is Thomas Aslin's second full-length collection of poetry. Like his first, A Moon Over Wings, these poems range from elegy and lament to poems of praise. Almost psalm-like at times these meditative and lyric poems take a close look at the Palouse and those who worked and lived on the land.

Review Quotes

"Thomas Aslin has written an outstanding collection of poems in Salvage and certainly laid claim to being one of the powerful voices of western American poetry in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. . . . Let us praise these poems the way these poems come to praise our lives and let us find the marvelous in front of us the way these poems lead us into the marvel of living."--Jeff Knorr, Valparaiso Poetry Review
