Night Sky Frequencies

"Debra Nystrom's poems are like prairie grass bending in the wind and living off of nothing. Night Sky Frequencies contains a stark human story of two abandoned childen--Will and Ellie--whose darker hair and skin make them aware of differences. This is the story of their lives. If you listen closely, beyond the hard-caked land, the parched air, and the oceanic loneliness, you will hear a harmonica playing. The night sky glistens with constellations. And something pure is being lifted out of nothingness." -- Henri Cole (from the back cover)
