About This Book
A collection of lyrical and narrative poems set against Rocky Mountain landscapes, blending travel memoir, nature meditation, and playful fantasy. Recurring mountain-top scenes frame meditations on sunsets, comets, and a thought-boat that surveys an imagined map of the United States, while other pieces evoke folkloric figures, talking animals, fairies, and circus imagery. Several poems mix cosmic or religious wonder with humble domestic details, and the tone shifts from whimsical satire to earnest reverie. Short, illustrated verses alternate with longer, imaginative poems that explore place, memory, and the mingling of everyday life with mythic visions.
