"Close observation opens into magic in this humble and finely-crafted collection. This Human Shape joins the finest environmental literature in offering up a rich set of characters closely entwined with the creatures, plants and objects of the landscapes they dwell in." --from the report on short-listed titles for the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment's (ASLE) Creative Writing Book Award Red Dragonfly Press http://www.reddragonflypress.org

"Patches of Light covers a lot of ground, thematically and literally, with poems that move at ease across the High Plains, touching on subjects as various as the function of bird's ears, an escaped lion, and listening to James Brown ... a little bit of everything for everyone." --Wyoming Arts Council "In the poem 'Salmon fly Armada' Hanson could just as well be describing the workings of the poems in Patches of Light: They swim to the top. They wrestle with their skeletons. When the great bugs finish with the ordeal, they fly." --Scott King, Editor of Red Dragonfly Press Red Dragonfly Press http://www.reddragonflypress.org People Just Float
