Synopsis
A sweeping collection that blends lyric poetry with narrative drama, rooted in American landscapes and timeless imagination.
The volume gathers poems that mix romance and realism, with narrative pieces set around the Ohio region and even the river itself playing a near-protagonist role. It also echoes a belief that narrative verse can speak with the precision and craft of the modern short story, offering both mood and meaning without losing theatrical cadence. This edition presents a versatile body of work that moves between intimate reflection and broader social feeling.
- Features enduring narrative poems such as Old Garth's Jess, where love, class, and labor collide along the riverfront
- Includes these dramatic-leaning poems and other lyrical pieces set against vivid natural and urban backdrops
- Ranges from intimate meditations to sweeping, mythic questions about life, fate, and faith
- Showcases the author’s distinctive voice across forms, from direct, plainspoken narration to richly imagistic lyric
