The Chain Letter of the Soul New and Selected Poems

"At the age of ten, growing up on the prairie in southwest Minnesota, Bill Holm began assembling "The Collected Poems of Wm. J. Holm, 1953." Animated by youthful ambition and a strong affinity for music, langauge, and the mystery of life, the boy would later become known as "the sage of Minnesota."" "Including nearly a hundred new, previously unpublished poems, along with poems selected from his previous collections, The Chain Letter of the Soul paints a portrait of a man of great heart, broad vision, and startling prescience. At once intimate and profoundly universal, approachable yet richly philosophical, these poems represent a final gift to "whatever future will come."" --Book Jacket.
