“The fundamental frequencies of this rural prairie music are beginnings, bewilderment, the necessity of breaking free, death and its mystery, and above all, love. These poems sing and sing back and will continue singing in your ear and heart long after you put this necessary book down.” – Athena Kildegaard, author of Prairie Midden

“Forgotten Frequencies begins with ‘a grumbling / in the belly of this city’ and never lets up in its deep explorations of the ecology, history, persona and dynamic of the place it emerges from." – Brett Salsbury, author of Surrender Dorothy

Listen to three poems from the book:

There’s a grumbling / in the belly of this city. / You can hear it at the bottom / of the swimming pool in summer. / Some say it sounds like static / from an old TV, but slow— / which is like the sound / of the snow falling / on all sides of my car, / parked by the edge of a stubble field / in January. / It is dusk . . .
