Safe House

by David Winter

David Winter’s Safe House is a dense and untamed collection. With marked precision and rich language, these poems tug, lure, and serenade you into a labyrinth of unexpected tales. Some toothy and smart-mouthed, others demure and at times devious, Winter’s poems change the world you thought you knew.
