Escape To The Promised Land

Poetry. The seventh volume of poetry from University of Dayton Poet-In-Residence Herbert Woodward. "Although these poems are thoroughly modern in their range and exploration of forms, their innate classicism makes them feel like old friends to whom one can turn for wisdom, humor, warmth and deep compassion toward the human condition" -Carol Berge.
