Way of the Wind is a haunting and powerful poetic evocation of place, artfully imbued with the universal ambience of grace, courage, and flashes of hard-earned wisdom. Hada's diction is muscular and unadorned, a fitting complement to the bleakness of the land from which his ancestors eked out their hardscrabble yet noble existences. If the timeless red dirt of Oklahoma could speak, this book would be its forceful utterance. Larry D. Thomas, 2008 Texas Poet Laureate These richly evocative poems of place and perception are some of the finest I've read. If you would know Oklahoma, her seasons, sounds, sights, textures, what lives here in the spirit and the land, read Ken Hada's Way of the Wind. Rilla Askew, author of Harpsong and Fire in Beulah
