In this collection of poetry, Sam explores the long relationship of human life with nature without sentimentality or the cold distance of the clinical eye. Sam’s poems reveal his own close connection with the Appalachian Mountains the red clay of the MidAtlantic and Virginia as he searches for meaning in the act of living on and with the land by using the poetic ink he makes from the soil.

The collection admits the danger we humans impose on the natural world while revealing a simple faith that that natural world will abide even as we as individuals give our identity back into the land we sprang from. The soil is significant in and of itself as life-giving place and because of our history of living on it.
