The Orchard Street Press is pleased to announce the release of How We All Fly the captivating new poetry collection from Bill Griffin of Elkin, NC.

About How We All Fly, Patricia Hooper, author of Wild Persistence (University of Tampa Press), writes: “Bill Griffin’s poems combine the trained eye of the naturalist with the metaphorical mind of the poet…boiling water poured into a frozen bird bath…becomes holy water, initiating the hope that the ‘God of holy ice’ will look after our children…Through close observations of the physical world, these clear, direct poems yield insights into the corresponding life of the spirit.

Of The Song of Ascents, Margaret Miles, Emerita Professor of Historical Theology writes: “In Song of Ascents, the poet loves both earth’s bodies and the vivid language that assists us to see, hear, touch, and smell the id quod est we live among but forget to notice…The poems in this volume conjure what there is in all its ‘ungainly tenderness,’ from roses and lilies to ‘rot and roots.’ These words show, and one sense is not enough; they activate in the reader a complex synesthetic response. They smile, and this reader found herself smiling back.”
