The White Wolf is a real animal that also represents mystery and spiritual power, much like the poems in Jamie Collins' book. His imagery, rich word choice and embrace of peace and simplicity add a deep power in this collection. Gratitude and compassion touch you throughout this journey. Many of these poems cherish and admonish Native American beliefs about people whose spirits "lowered into human form." The book starts and ends with his mini-poems. "Let peace sail across the land like a deep breath." "Surrounded by walls of skin I touch both this world and the Heaven within." Filled with powerful form and language, Collins has written a book that is a must read. Bill Brown, author of a textbook and 12 poetry collections

If you are wondering where the lions are, they are here in James Collins' latest collection of poems; fierce, yet merciful lions. This selection of Collins' poetry is a masterful work of outstanding artistry and skill. The poems, richly creative, honest, and filled with profound self-knowledge, deal with the body, mind, and spirit of man. In James Collins' words: "This body is only a rumor, / not a possession you can keep.... live at that address in forever / you currently rent..." and "we wait for a / sign to see / who will paint the entire / canvas blue and / start over". Wonderful imagery. Wonderful energy. Wonderful language. ~Earl LeClaire, poet

For James Collins nature, spirituality and everyday experiences intersect to illuminate the soul of the reader as much as that of the poet.

This collection examines one's ever-changing station in life and is as much a spirit map for the reader as a compilation. ~Chance Chambers, Nashville poet

There is something of shimmering moonlight in these poems as well as something tremulous lingering in the shadows that renders the writing both mystic and intimate and makes it difficult to know where the poem ends and our own thoughts begin. ~Earl LeClaire, poet
