Synopsis
There is a certain quietness in J.T. Ledbetter’s Old and Lost Rivers. Each poem is a lull, a seductive silence, that follows the rhythms of the flowing hills of the Palouse and the rolling rivers which usher the relaxed reader along on a journey that is clear and definite and concise. The strength of Ledbetter’s poems is in that dreamlike, pastoral, almost hypnotic rhythm of each poem coupled with a pertinent, subtle re-call to consciousness in every ending. One could easily get lost in these poems, and one would definitely be better for it.
Nature is everywhere with sudden, unexpected, aching beauty and restorative harshness, and the farm also with its woods and streams, cows moving in their stanchions, and long, silent distances between house and barn and between house and town. But always Ledbetter’s focus is people, on who they are to each other and to themselves, on people touching each other or losing and sometimes finding again that ability to touch.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winner of the Idaho Prize for Poetry in 2011. Old and Lost Rivers is a vivid and moving collection of poems about people who have been beaten down by bad weather, poor crops, and little love save what their memories have put away. John Van Doren has called the book "a report of a vanishing world that was always achingly inarticulate and therefore of violent heart." Many of the poems are harsh, even cruel, yet there is release of one kind or another, through fantasy or revenge; often it comes in a tired acceptance of what is.
