David Harrison takes readers on a trip to the mountains, into high country, through the forest, and down again to the edge of the sea. This journey in verse captures the grandness, mystery, and beauty of nature as the poet's words make the land and animals come alive. Along the way, readers will meet Wolf, ". . . a wolf casual about being a wolf. . . "; a Moose at Dusk in the Forest, ". . . like a phantom beast--high shouldered, massive, mute. . ." ; mountains like giants, "all nose and toes and knobby knees," and rain "weeping from a sky the color of the sea." Imaginative and evocative, this collection represents David Harrison working at the height of his poetic powers.
