Songs of my Father: Poems by Larsen Bowker

By Larsen Bowker

Larsen Bowker's three Chapbooks and seven books of poetry, take images and metaphors come from a childhood in a small Prairie town in Nebraska with more trees, hills and rivers than massive fields of grain, and found his narrative style growing up in resilient synchronicity of his parents' polar opposite personalities-physical vigor of his Father's inventive silence and his Mother's lubricious loquacity, making it easy for him to believe all lives grow out of myths and physical images shaping who we are and seek to become. Both athlete and poet, he believes Faith in Body, Mind and Soul forms the character best-suited to avoid discipleship to one of the three...while "our best chance to connect all three to who we are and what we want to become is that elusive, mystical, charismatic state of being we can never quite define, but know for sure when they are in synch, as if they were as distinct as the line of our nose in three way mirrors, or the memory of our first kiss."
