Wolves howl in the hollow of night, cats yowl from crags and forests, but people describe sunsets, address their dead, pray to what they feel may lie beyond the stars, and perhaps even take note of mysterious figures lurking in alleys.

In Talking to Shadows, his latest collection of poems, Ron Houchin replies with sensitivity and wit to things noticed or sensed, offering a celebration of sights, sounds, and objects that elicit responses through the phenomena of their being. Whether evoking the presage of a coming ice age, a photo of an unknown ancestor in a family album, or the presence of nature during a lone walk across a night field, Houchin's poems converse with the shadows of existence that permeate a world filled with beauty and mystery.

Industry Reviews

Ron Houchin's poetry is haunted in all the best ways--by spirits of the past, to be sure, but also by birds, trees, weather, language, and Ireland. The poems in Talking to Shadows are like stepping into a Celtic thin place. Beguiling, mysterious, sacred, they show what Houchin's readers have long known--that he is one of the finest poets working today.--Jason Kyle Howard, editor of "Appalachian Review"
