Prodigal

"Michael Davis' poetry collection Prodigal is a deeply moving odyssey of mourning, searching, struggle and passion. Through his vivid imagery ("like a razor, against the grain, scattering the salty/scales into the bright air"), fresh use of language and wisdom, Davis tells stories of the human condition in ways that haven't been told before. From his unique take on Rembrandt's "Annunciation" to "Cleaning the Catch," a gut-wrenching tale of "Life lost, both wanted and wanting"-he takes us on a luminous journey into the very guts of life itself."
