Water Walker, a collection of Willard's poems has one I come back to again again-her 'Foxes Fall to St. Francis' from the poems with title borrowed from sport page headlines. Other favorites from that book: In Praise of Unwashed Feet and Magician's Wives. I wish there were more of her poems. Jacob Russell
