Michelle Bonczek Evory takes us on an expedition into the lives of Meriwether Lewis and Sacagawea, as she explores what it means to live as an explorer of life, love, and the landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Layered within these poems inspired by history are poems that reflect on and narrate the poet's own journeys through love and her own explorations of the western states. These poems delight in the grandeur of wilderness, and the grandeur of the heart reminding us how brave all of us are-and must be-in our own quests for happiness.
