Fall Sanctuary: Selected & Introduced by Mark Jarman

Winner of the 17th annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize, Fall Sanctuary was selected from more than 800 entries by final judge Mark Jarman who describes Hardin’s world as “primarily the rural South, and his people primarily country people with their deep and rooted knowledge . . . Out of his world and its speech, he makes lyric poetry of praise for the earth.” Jeff Hardin lives and teaches in Columbia, Tennessee.
