Rocks Full of Sky

Rocks Full of Sky is a collection of incantatory poems exploring landscape, wildness, and the human spirit. Schooled in traditional forms of rhyme and meter, Stephen Lefebure writes poetry wide open to the vastness of the American Southwest, and to metaphysical suggestion, the tides of time, and the elusive image of eternity as well. The spell these poems cast persists far beyond the moment of their reading. "In Rocks Full of Sky, Stephen Lefebure realizes unaccustomed perspectives on the forms of the given world and our experience in it. Love, mortality, loss, and longing imbue these poems with their power. Lefebure at his best sounds like no other poet. Landscapes of the outer world interfuse as one with the contours of his mind and spirit. His voice has the quality of chant and prophecy, bearing gravitas with measured grace, touching ancient mysteries with questions we never thought to ask." -John Daniel, authored Of Earth and Rogue River Journal
