Of "Reasons for the Sky" Walter Hall wrote "Jim Hanson gives us the whole picture with a generosity of spirit that is rare indeed." This book continues the story with glimpses of nature and openness of feeling. Jim describes the light in Dallas: "Even when indirect, the light is stark, yellow, overwhelming, not the luminist atmosphere of a Midwestern town, or the cool blue brightness in a Manhattan canyon." These poems describe American landscapes clearly and sharply in an American voice.

Born in Chicago in 1953, Jim Hanson grew up in Barrington, Illinois and received a B.A. and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. After a career in manufacturing accounting and systems implementation, he returned to his great-grandparents' farm near Douglas, Michigan where he writes, draws, paints, translates, conducts genealogical research, and designs websites, among other things. His previous books include "Reasons for the Sky" (Toothpaste Press, 1979) and "Three Numbers" (with Steve Levine, Toothpaste Press, 1976) and his translation of Stéphane Mallarmé's "Poems and prose poems" (2016).
