Winner of a Guggenheim Fellowship
Winner of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship
Winner of a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship
The Halo is quasi-autobiography about a man who has wings and wants desperately to simply be human. Tracking from adolescence through adulthood, it explores an accident that temporarily paralyzes him and exposes him to human weakness all the way to his transformation into something more powerful than even he realizes. It explores a personal evolution from being prey to becoming the hunter.
Praise for C. Dale Young
"Young's poems are so fierce and serrated." --Jeff Gordinier, New York Times Book Review
"Young is a doctor as well as a poet, and [his work] demonstrates a skilled physician's combination of empathy and formal precision." --David Orr, NPR
"Sometimes the ability to convey information compactly and quickly has moral grace. [Young's] writing can put garrulous narration or evasive speechifying to shame." --Robert Pinsky, The Washington Post
