Gunshot, Peacock, Dog (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948692045)

Rick Campbell's latest collection reads like an extended elegy for the poet himself, for his lost loved ones, and for the changes in the wider world. In this way, it is reminiscent of Hardy. This is the work of a man wise in the ways of the world and not afraid to be what we all are: flawed. His voice is personal and vulnerable . . . The book consists of very detailed and compressed poems, both focused on the natural world and on an inner landscape described with a consistent tone and voice throughout.

--George Drew, author of Fancy's Orphan, Pastoral Habits, and Down and Dirty
