Publisher's Description
Human conflict frequently results in the ejection of the loser, yet it's the winners who usually write the stories. This collection gives voice to the loser. Through the framework of one whose life was upended by a sudden move from Florida to Alaska, poet Gregory Hartley treads the path of Exile, examining its causes and the destruction left in its wake.

“Gregory Hartley’s Lines from the Exile is a gorgeous symphony of feeling. This collection sings and cries. Hartley’s literary references shine brightly throughout the book as he takes the reader on a journey from lost faith to gritty wisdom. Each poem contributes to the thematic ode to tough times and the unexpected joys therein.”
“Hartley’s debut book of poetry is a dazzling blizzard of unforgettable emotion and energy. A cross-continental collection of poems spanning the distance from Florida to Alaska, Greek philosophy and mythology, to biblical allusions and ecology, Lines from the Exile reveals the voice of a gifted poet, brilliant scholar, and loving husband and father. . . . This is a book that I will cherish and return to again and again in the future.”
