"Memories in Clay, Dreams of Wolves" gathers semi-autobiographical
poetry about a boyhood and adult life lived in conversation with
nature. In this volume, Sam describes a life shaped by his youth in
Pennsylvania and Michigan and his journey by thumb through the
Pacific Northwest. The imprint of these experiences molds his
ecological holism and sense of the holiness of the commonplace and
of all life. All profits to the author from the sale of this book
will be donated to the Germanna Community College Educational
Foundation. What other poets are saying about "Memories in Clay,
Dreams of Wolves" "David Sam is a poet of deep identity with the
natural world. In these intimate narratives of discovery and awe,
the poems speak often with an almost breathless urgency, reminding
us of the inexhaustible life within life, testaments to a unique
sensitivity, in a boy and then a man. In journeys both actual and
metaphorical, the self is not different than rivers or sunrise. 'I
am made of water and wild air, ' one poem says. The lucky reader
breathes deeply." - Allan Peterson, author of Fragile Acts and All
the Lavish in Common "David Anthony Sam's poems are literally
rooted in the earth, seeded in the rich, dark soil. Whether he's
writing about childhood or the rivers of Pennsylvania, these poems
are filled with fields, mountains, lakes, snow and stars; they
remind us that human life is found in the morning air, in the
golden rays of the rising sun, in a bird's call as dusk arrives.
Memories in Clay, Dreams of Wolves is an impressive book that will
transport you into the natural world where, as Sam writes, you will
become 'forgetful and human again.'" - David James, author of She
Dances Like Mussolini, winner of the 2010 Next Generation Indie
book award in poetry
