Beautys Run Road by Terry Persun

“Terry Persun might possibly be the male reincarnate Mary Oliver. His collection of poems found within BEAUTYS RUN ROAD holds a deep intimacy. His memory selections elicit a tonal, visceral quality rather than a simple set of words aligned in proper poetry order. Immersed in each piece, I am a spy–spying on the author, through a kaleidoscope somewhere in a past life. I find in Persun’s BEAUTYS RUN ROAD a profoundly poignant set of poems—ones, had I not read, would have me spending days wandering aimlessly with a sense I’d missed out on something important.”

–Susan Wingate, Amazon Bestselling Author of THE DEER EFFECT

“In a voice vulnerable and innocent, Terry Persun offers snapshots into a childhood that feels rough-hewn and, at times, wincingly hard, but at the same time, natural, simple, and true.This rich combination of imagery and sensory detail does what poetry should do: transport readers into sounds and smells and textures and images they have never before experienced, but now is a part of them.”

–Sarah Zale, author of The Art of Folding and Sometimes You Do Things
