Sean Thomas Dougherty and J.D. Schraffenberger team up for this chapbook of Golden Shovel poems inspired by the work of Iowa's iconic farmer-poet James Hearst.

"The common denominator of these poems is compassion: resistance to cruelty, euphemism, and denial, walking with us from the land of the dead back to the land of the living." — Martín Espada
