Yarrow and Smoke is William O’Daly’s love song to gray valley and starless river, to the parched land where he has built his life among beached cans and bottles, waiting for rain. Come. Visit O’Daly’s magical valley. Hear “the silence of a sunlit yard,” see “the pure white of absence.” Sit at the edge of firelight. Taste the night wind steeped in yarrow and smoke.

A National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, William was a finalist for the 2006 Quill Award in Poetry and was profiled by Mike Leonard for The Today Show. He has received national and regional honors for literary editing and instructional design, and was a national board member of Poets Against War.
