“Jones’s heart embraces a range of generations and hemispheres, engulfing dream worlds, rendering for us the results of vision, bravery, and generosity in this writing. Still Life in a Hurricane is a reckoning, a love letter, an act of courage, a gentle companion into the unknown. It is what we are always feeling, even under clearest skies. It is the song we realize we are dancing to, under a night sky where the wishing stars give way to their surrounding black.” —Barbara DeCesare, Poet, Author of Jigsaw Eyesore and Silent Type “Jones transforms memory, humor, loss, and the everyday into extraordinary moments; through this powerful collection, he elevates the mundane and the profane into the holy. Jones beckons us to stop, perk our ears and train our vision, to see into the past and be present in what’s right now, all around us, and revel in this glorious life by immersing ourselves in it. Still Life in a Hurricane beckons the reader to acknowledge the beauty of the storm, the eye, the aftermath, and the recovery.” —Matt Hohner, Poet, Author of States and Thresholds and Other Poems
