Martin Hyatt is a deft writer with a poetic gift of the highest calibration. His sentences sing siren songs and they sound like gorgeous truth. In The Scarecrow's Bible Hyatt gives heart and tender touch to the incomprehensible pairings that we crave and embrace in order to endure nerve-damaged days and slush-bottom nights. Sometimes figures magically appear--wandering through dreamlike parable--and Hyatt owns the power of their nuance. This wave-crashing book conjures characters who know the rocks below--yes--but they endure--with just enough will to keep hanging cliffside.How heartbreaking that this amazing book is out of print!!!
