Praise for Russell Rowland






"Dear Mr. Rowland, thank you for the poems you gave me ... There is a lot happening here (i.e. in the poems), and I hope you will be able to give poetry some major attention. Clearly you already have. Yours truly, Donald Hall." -Postcard from Donald Hall, 14th U. S. Poet Laureate






Dr. Rowland is an artist at interweaving the threads of nature, with mankind's journey through it, into a tapestry that connects the earthly to the spiritual. New Hampshire's hills, streams and settlements form the panorama for his artistry. Surveying that scene, Rowland often peers through the present into the past, with its inhabitants and activities-as one reflects when coming across the old stone pasture walls that run through the Granite State's deep second-growth woods. -Shirley Anne Leonard, Editor, WestWard Quarterly magazine
