Description:

Out of the Hermit's Meadow and Wood is Densmore's debut collection of poetry. More than one hundred pages and 30 plus years of this Vermont carpenter's unique view and observations of life have gone into the making of this volume.

One reader has said that this book "will be compared with Frost, but rather, Frost should be compared with [Densmore]".

A modernist voice with a contemporary view, Victor Densmore turns seemingly everyday events into moments of profound transcendence. Whether wandering the towns, fields and cellar holes of Vermont, or simply dropping into the souls of his subjects, these poems capture moments in their bare truth and display them for all to see.

"... Victor Densmore's poetry ... is finely wrought and sweet and reminds me a bit of the poetry of the late William Mundell who also celebrated the passing life of the farm."
Tom Slayton, Editor of Vermont Life Magazine
