Winner of a Guggenheim FellowshipWinner of a National Endowment for the Arts FellowshipWinner of a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship The Halo is quasi-autobiography about a man who has wings and wants desperately to simply be human. Tracking from adolescence through adulthood, it explores an accident that temporarily paralyzes him and exposes him to human weakness all the way to his transformation into something more powerful than even he realizes. It explores a personal evolution from being prey to becoming the hunter.Praise for C. Dale Young"Young's poems are so fierce and serrated." --Jeff Gordinier, New York Times Book Review"Young is a doctor as well as a poet, and [his work] demonstrates a skilled physician's combination of empathy and formal precision." --David Orr, NPR"Sometimes the ability to convey information compactly and quickly has moral grace. [Young's] writing can put garrulous narration or evasive speechifying to shame." --Robert Pinsky, The Washington Post

C. Dale Young's fourth book of poems meets every expectation I have for what good writing is. The time and effort is readily apparent, and the impact each poem has is tremendous. This is poetry at it's most powerful. This is a book which remains with you after you finish it. Lovely.
The speaker in C. Dale Young's poems nearly whispers to the reader. He is speaking directly to you: of the body and damage, of healing and the mysteries of what lies below the skin. This masterful collection is my personal favorite of all his volumes written thus far.
Fantastic book!
