The Crooked Truth was the 2011 Colorado Authors' League Award selection for Poetry (Books).

"In the midst of jungle and bombs and the torn and bloody country of war, the speaker glimpses a rare forest antelope, running from the destruction of his world. That glimpse evokes beauty, terror, power, tragedy, pathos, and, oddly, hope, and the eye that saw that antelope and knew to focus that complex landscape down to his leap from it, is a true poet's eye, is Dan Guenther's eye. His poems, set against the backdrops of Australia, the American West, and the war in Vietnam and its long echoes, capture precisely and beautifully and courageously the details that allow us to knit into his vision and so see the world with a renewed and necessary clarity." — Wayne Karlin, author of Wandering Souls

"Dan Guenther is a poet for all seasons who speaks to us through unique imagery and often brilliant contrast about his many years walking the western landscape, the old Ute trails in Colorado, foreign lands, and a war-torn country side. His deep relationship with the natural world, and all its creatures has a way of healing, making connections, and balancing one's life in the great scheme of living and dying. In silence and solitude and in secret places, from Vietnam to a winter campsite, he ponders the big questions, and we listen. His meditations on time, space and light, ancient cliff dwellers and new beginnings, awaken the poet in us. We feel his compassion and respect for all things living and dead, and are grateful when he says the child in me still believes in magic, because on each page of this fine collection, we believe with him." — Carolyn Evans Campbell, Author of The Tattooed Woman, Colorado Book Award winner.
