Trade Paperback. Condizione: New. First Edition. New! 'Too Late To Turn Back Now gathers all of Finn Wilcox's hard-to-find, out-of-print and limited-edition books and adds a generous selection of new poems and prose pieces. Included is Wilcox's widely praised first book, Here Among the Sacrificed, a collection of poems, stories, and short prose coming from the poet's experiences riding freight trains. It rings with the clang and gritty dust of America's freight yards and takes a compassionate look at the hobos who ride, heirs of a Depression-era community who, in a metaphoric and very real sense, were 'dropped off on a side-track.' In 'The Boneyards' the poet, camped by an abandoned warehouse outside Mason City, Iowa, echoes Kenneth Rexroth and offers a playful nod to West Coast nature poems. Love, travel, friendship, adventure, misadventure, and loss. Wilcox strikes universal chords in a fresh and accessible way. His poems and stories come comfortably dressed for any season, neatly packed and ready for the journey. Finn Wilcox distills for readers of off-the-road literature the sweet wine and tangy whiskey of his earlier books, and adds a healthy supply of new Wilcox work. This collection demands to be read to your beloveds, to your children and parents. An elegant tour de force by a devoted artist, here's a book shaped by the precision and compassion for which Finn is loved among workers of the word, and of the woods and sea' ~ Publisher.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A legendary figure in Pacific Northwest literary communities, Finn Wilcox's new collection contains: his classic Here Among the Sacrificed with poignant photographs by Steve R. Johnson, the poems from Nine Flower Mountain, detailing travels in China with noted translator Red Pine; Lesson Learned, Love Poems; and Not Letting Go, a suite of new poems and stories. In the Olympic and Cascade Mountains for twenty-five years, Wilcox planted over a million trees, and traveled on freight trains up and down the West coast and in the mountains of China finding Buddhist hermits. With Jeremiah Gorsline, he edited Working the Wood, Working the Sea: An Anthology of Northwest Writing. From hobo jungles alongside the railroad yards of the American West to the cave of a hermit nun on a mountain in China, from the hard-scrabble life of Pacific Northwest tree-planters to the tenderest of love lyrics, these poems and prose anecdotes sparkle like little gems. Quirky. Luminous. Authentic. -Clemens Starck O lucky you! O lucky world! this new book by Finn Wilcox includes all his railroad masterpiece Here Among the Sacrificed. -Bob Arnold These stories and poems are the sort I'd expect to find someday among the men's clothing at Goodwill: survivors of the real world, not something I'd wear to a job interview. -Bill Porter Wilcox is refreshingly modest in his approach, and his language carries the tempo and vernacular of common speech. At one point he refers to his own poems as 'A lucky pull/of the rabbit/ from a hat.' But it's not luck -Tim McNulty, Cascadia Weekly 'Whether in journals, stories, poems, Wilcox is always accessible, passionate, sometimes serious, sometimes funny and sometimes seriously funny, instructive in the ways of living a good life, a life of conscious choices, without being preachy or pedagogical.'-Larry Lawrence, Raven Chronicles'Wilcox comes across as both a straightforward and a complicated fellow - attracted to both trouble and beauty, rambling and family, the work of the body and the work of the mind.'-Bill Yake, Pacific Rim Review of Books.
