WAY OUT WEST: Dispatches from the Frontier

Buzzing rattlesnakes, stampeding buffalo, man-eating grizzlies, naked tractor rides, Indian maidens in war paint and more populate these poems about the West, depicting both the light-hearted and darker sides of life beyond the 100th meridian. Theses verbal snapshots invite the reader to explore this hard country, if only in his or her imagination, where, after all, the best views can be had.
