Set at a writers' residency in NE Wyoming, these finely crafted poems are candid and accessible. Rooted in decades of journal entries, they probe a painful divorce, love rediscovered and sustained for decades, the tension between youthful faith, doubt, and mature hope. They explore the power and limits of words. Roaming the Big Horn foothills, the poet sustains a journey of internal quest, seeking to reconcile past and present selves. In their cumulative effect, the poems build a narrative of discovery, friendship, hope, and delight in the natural world.
