The Sealey Challenge, Day Eight: Back of Mount Peace

I had the great good fortune of having Kwame Dawes as my MFA thesis advisor at Pacific University. Today I read his book, Back of Mount Peace. There is no other word than "mastery" for what he does with imagery and rhyme. As much as I learned from Kwame while I worked with him, I feel that I could continue to learn for years just by studying what he's done with the poems in this collection, and it's just one of the many he has written.
