The slingshot vignettes
(Book)
"'What is it about Pennsylvania and the Keystone State's ability to produce poets who write so beautifully of the natural world? There are several I return to again and again, and Tony Burfield is one of them. This memoir-in-haibun is a gorgeous achievement, capturing perfectly the essence of how this short form, in the hands of someone with as deft a touch as Burfield's, can loom so large in its ability to evoke all the senses. I am grateful to have experienced this collection. Everyone should be so fortunate.' Chris La Tray, Little Shell Chippewa, One-Sentence Journal: Short Poems and Essays. 'Tony Burfield’s Slingshot Vignettes is a deep dive on a Northern Appalachian childhood defined by an enchantment with nature, as well as the temptations and tribulations of youth. Burfield’s poetics of split memory calls on the reader to explore the ways in which the past lives with us through narrative memory and emotional immediacy. Slingshot Vignettes is a book that resonates both in the moment and through its many aftershocks.' Dr. Matthew Ussia, The Red Glass Cat"--Back cover.
