While Jim Dodge is internationally known for his fiction, his first and abiding passion is poetry. After eighteen years of publishing anonymously and reading only to local crowds in the Pacific Northwest, he began to issue occasional limitededition letterpress chapbooks with a small press, as well as occasional broadsides and, since 1987, a winter solstice poem or story, most given as gifts to friends. Rain on the River contains work collected here for the first time, as well as three dozen previously unpublished poems. Dodge's poems and short prose offer the same pleasures as his fiction a splendid ear for language, great emotional range and subtlety, a sharp eye for the illuminating detail, and a sensibility that encompasses outright hilarity, savage wit, and tender marvel, all made eminently accessible through writing of uncompromising clarity and grace. 'Like being at a nonstop party in celebration of everything that matters.' Thomas Pynchon 'A rollicking, frequently surprising adventurecumfairy tale. It also has a sweetness about it and an indigenous American optimism.' The New York Times Book Review 'Diverse, savvy, passionate.... Poetry should be a pleasure, and Jim Dodge's work is just that.' Gary Snyder
