"Ernest Dempsey's dear little book on running is full of surprises.
His earnestness about running both delights and transforms into
potent metaphor.... just not the ones you might expect. This is a
sweet and generous heart... one that runs into darkness and manages
to bring back joy."
-- Elizabeth Knight, Writing and Literature Instructor, Portland
Community College"Not everyone remembers the joys of running the
way that Ernest Dempsey has done in this little book. My favorite
poem is 'Racing Heart.' Kudos to Ernest."
-- RD Armstrong, poet, publisher and dog about town
