Publisher Description: Comments about this work and some of Walt's earlier poems: "Seldom has a locality made such a double impact on the audience as these . . . poems. West Texas hits you from both sides, and you don't forget it, ever."--James Dickey "Ever since discovering Walter McDonald's work, I've been moved by its evocation of the spirit of his native West Texas plains."--John Graves "The reader is in for another rich experience in savoring these poems, all destined for frequent rereading."--Amarillo Sunday News-Globe In this new volume of poetry, the award-winning Texas poet who wrote Rafting the Brazos joins other poets of the plains who "tell a prairie all they hope it means, / inventing corrals and barns." In Green Pastures Now it begins, oaks spinning winter from the pipe. Bracing with one stiff hand, trudging to the trough, trees dense We take beguiling skies for granted steady breath. Tonight, we'll rock |
