Grief, Love, and Doubt in ONE WILD WORLD AWAY

One Wild World Away

In his third collection of poetry, One Wild Word Away, Geffrey Davis gives his inner life as many rich voices as are in a choir — bereavement, love, and doubt sing out from his poems. His emotions bleed through each page, and his readers are a witness to his raw feeling, both simply and wrenchingly expressed. With his carefully chosen words, Davis strikes flints to illuminate his private darkness.
