Dune Tracks: Poems

By Francis Fike

Francis Fike's new collection, Dune Tracks, has a Michigan flavor, with poems that feature and celebrate the landscape and especially the birds of the Michigan shoreline, and a lovely painting of a lakeshore by Michigan artist Debra Reid Jenkins. Other poems are inspired by places far from home. Included are translations from Spanish and French. The collection also feature some of Fike's hymns and one song.The poems in this book are in traditional form, not free verse: they use meter, rhyme, and stanza form. Fike was trained in the art and joy of formal verse by poet Yvor Winters at Stanford University when the young poet had a Wallace Stegner Fellowship there. Francis Fike closes his book with a memoir of his time studying and writing with Winters.
