I love this ...Marly, thanks for featuring Jeffery. I love this new book--and Midwinter Fires, well, as I told J., it came at just the right time for me, reminding me of the fiery heart at the center of the season. I have posted some features on Jeffery's work on my laureate blog and on my Here, Where I Am blog.

His work is weighty, though it often comes in small packages. Many of his poems have the velocity and precision of an arrow to the heart. The Broken Flower is a case in point.<br />Thank you for featuring his work on your blog, Marly.Laura Frankstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528540633399368216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255384574844579530.post-64629716224491412362013-03-16T10:40:50.324-04:002013-03-16T10:40:50.324-04:00Thanks, O kind Mr. Beam!
