Product Description:

This new collection of lyrical and narrative poems is centered on the American west and southwest, from Wyoming to New Mexico to California. Brosman explores three different types of ranges here: mountain ranges, grazing ranges, and the scope and spectrum of light. Most of the poems focus on nature, especially landscapes and trees. However, there are also poems inspired by historical figures such as the explorer, Fremont. Brosman varies forms throughout throughout the collection from ragged-edged free verse poems to poems of rhymed quatrains in iambic pentameter. This transcendental collection is both serious and at times playful. Overall, it is a meditation on the natural beauty and resilience of America.
