Yarrow and Smoke

Yarrow and Smoke

“Come. Visit O’Daly’s magical valley. Hear ‘the silence of a sunlit yard,’ see ‘the pure white of absence.’ Sit at the edge of firelight. Taste the night wind steeped in yarrow and smoke.” The beautiful cover reproduces the work of internationally renowned artist Galen Garwood. Yarrow and Smoke is only the second title in the Folded Word Press Masters Series.

“Yarrow and Smoke! A precious, wonderful book that gives tribute to predecessors, friendship, the human presence as visionary and cherishing of natural existence. The shape and pace of this book are gentle, friendly to the time and place of life. Turning each page, time opens. Beautifully positioned singular poems to treasure, glow in a small spacious way, as if each an origami crane folded into your heart.”
— Kathabela Wilson, poet and community builder

“Yarrow and Smoke with William O’Daly!!! Get it! Jeweled passages to light the way along the night river. I truly love this collection.”
— Lois P. Jones, author of Night Ladder (Glass Lyre Press, 2017) and radio and reading series host

“Yarrow and Smoke is a most generous, richly observed, and compellingly clear book. I love its lucidity, the way one sees depths through it.”
— Peter Weltner, author of The Return of What’s Been Lost and Unbecoming Time (Marrowstone Press, 2017)
