First full-length collection of poetry by Pacific Northwest writer John Ellison. Rooted in nature, universal and yet deeply personal, these poems chronicle the author's journey from songwriter to poet, and through love and loss. Ellison, a music documentarian, runs Goat Palace (goatpalacezine.com), where he reviews records, interviews musicians, and covers live shows. Goat Palace blends the arts whenever possible, and it includes photos, quotations, and even poetry from time to time.
