In \u003cem\u003eFlatline Horizon\u003c\/em\u003e, Don Stinson's autobiographical meditations on death in various forms--aging, homogenous thought, homeplace, intolerance and despair--implicate and immerse the reader in the deep sigh of paradox and often painful ironies of Middle America, prairie dust and memory. The confluence of the personal and political, informed by the history and events of speaker and journey, offer taut musicality that surprises more than measures. The manner in which these poems see sing deftly subtle tones of quiet depth, secure insecurity, muted hope, and tenuous love. These are words of a rooted journeyman with wise, wide eyes. --Quraysh Ali Lansana.

People and place, history and heroics, sorrow and love and the poet's compassionate sensibility. I emerged from them feeling as if I know the poet, myself, his place, my place, all the more richly. Dip in anywhere, you'll be rewarded with his power in language, rhythm, insight. Read Don Stinson's Flatline Horizon front to back, as I did, and you'll come away illuminated, wounded, and glad. --Rilla Askew.
