Description
Prayer Wind is Jack Hayes’ most ambitious work to date. Written through four difficult years, the poems reflect not only Jack’s personal journey but the hugely challenging times in which we all found ourselves. His words also reflect the cycle of the year and the pulse of nature with their inevitable highs and lows. Playful, deeply reflective, sad and joyful – Prayer Wind is all these and more.
These are poems not to be hurried but to be read at leisure, to be savoured. They are an infinite box of delights that can give the reader a fresh perspective, a different insight, a more nuanced view of the world, at every visit.
Jack Hayes’ output has been substantial for many years – always high quality, but known to few. Prayer Wind should establish him with a wider audience, and may yet mark him out as the American poet of the decade.
