Human conflict frequently results in the ejection of the loser, yet it's the winners who usually write the stories. This collection gives voice to the loser. Through the framework of one whose life was upended by a sudden move from Florida to Alaska, poet Gregory Hartley treads the path of Exile, examining its causes and the destruction left in its wake.

Gregory Hartley is associate professor of writing at the University of Alaska Anchorage. This is his first published collection of poetry.
