Slow Smoke

By: Sarett, Lew

"Slow Smoke" is a compelling collection of poetry that immerses readers in the untamed landscapes of the American wilderness. Written by Lew Sarett, a poet deeply attuned to the rhythms of nature, this work reflects his profound experiences in the North Woods and the Rocky Mountains. Through evocative imagery and rhythmic precision, the poems within "Slow Smoke" explore the intricate relationship between humanity and the environment, capturing the raw power of the elements and the quiet dignity of the wild.

The collection is particularly noted for its sensitive portrayal of Native American life and folklore, as well as its vivid depictions of wildlife and the changing seasons. Sarett's verses oscillate between the lyrical and the stark, mirroring the duality of the frontier. This volume stands as a significant contribution to early 20th-century American literature, offering a meditative look at a disappearing wilderness. Readers will find themselves transported to a world of mountain peaks, shadowed forests, and the titular "slow smoke" of distant fires, all rendered with the observant eye of a true outdoorsman and scholar of the woods.
