In Until Air Itself Is Tinted, Cullen Whisenhunt approaches his poems with a photographer's keen eye, drawing into sharp focus everyday details that often go overlooked. In this collection, Whisenhunt creates a rich poetic texture, interwoven with cranes and herons, leafy sidewalks and cypress teeth. Indeed, these are poems we can sink our teeth into, the rich imagery set against a vivid backdrop of birdsong and Oklahoma soul.
