Love of humanity, the environment, from a man who has suffered great indignities, yet, has risen from the ashes and turned his life and love of poetry into some of the finest work I’ve published. This book should be read closely by anyone who can relate to those who has been to hell and come back. A truly transcendent spirit pervades this book and Oberst has done himself, his family and friends, and all of us who care about the world a great favor with these poems.
