In Skies and Chasms, poet James Hansen reaches new heights and depths of his veneration of nature and his passionate feelings of being a part of it.

His sensitivity to language is remarkable, as the words flow soft or robust, mellow or fierce. The very sounds of words are a music to match the vibrations of his soul.
