I loved Calling a Wolf a Wolf and even wrote a poem after him. After your review, I can’t wait to read his book!

I just once took a workshop with him. It was great. We DO read a lot of the same books:-)

I have never read anything by him before, but I’ve heard a lot about him. Now I’m definitely going to get a copy of this novel. Thank you so much for this wonderful post. I really enjoyed it!

I didn’t know that you studied with him! I just ordered a hardcover of the novel and I’m going to get a poetry anthology as well! I’m so glad you recommended him to me. We read a lot of the same books!
