Contemplify with Paul Swanson

“Noah Davis is a poet whose capacious imagination runs on river sounds and open air.”

— Adrian Matejka, Pulitzer Prize Finalist and editor of Poetry.

Noah Davis is an award-winning poet, whose collection The Last Beast We Revel In was my first read on my sabbatical. The poetry of Noah Davis is sensual, enlivening all senses whether it be the howling earth, family, dalliances with the beloved, or the creatures that companion and sustain us. This is his second collection of poems, his lyricism and eye hold promise for a bright future.
