The polished poems in Dave Malone's iiTornado Drilli ispin readers from Kansas arroyos and Ozark lakes to sodden Paris side streets and back again. Along the way there are surprising glimpses through neighborhood windows and into manicured back yards, but no matter the setting, Malone's true terrain is the human heart. iiTornado Drillii contains humor to balance grief, mystique to dress and attend memory, and spirit to animate craft. Without question, it is his finest book to date.br -C.D. Albin, author of Missouri Author Award's iiHard Toward HomeiibrpbrDon't let the title fool you, this is no drill. There is real danger here-its undercurrent felt in every precise image, its power, palpable. Through tightly crafted, yet expansive portraits, glimpses, and moments, Dave Malone's iiTornado Drilli iinvites us into a whole community of loss, desire, and want. You cannot help but be pulled into this vortex, astonished by the beauty and possibility you will discover here.br -Amy Ash, author
