New Release
Spring 2000            Coming Home From Home

Coming Home From HomeComing Home From Home, Bruce Hunter's first collection of poetry in fourteen years, is a work of admirable scope, a giant breath of life. There is so much emotion here: old childhood furies; enterprising declarations of love; celebrations of city energy. Hunter embraces awe and passion, never turning away from violence or missing an opportunity to watch beauty glow. These poems aim right for the heart of experience.

It is the latest addition to Hunter’s critically acclaimed works all published by Thistledown Press, which include two volumes of poetry, Benchmark, 1982, and The Beekeeper’s Daughter, 1986 and a collection of linked stories, Country Music Country, 1996, now in its second printing.
