Straight Walker

By: John Moncure Wetterau

Intimate, clear poems that resonate long after first reading. A strong visual sense puts you immediately in Maine, Hawaii, and places inbetween. The collection is infused with the faith that an individual can find words to say, in a new time and in new ways, what matters. The earlier poems are profoundly local. As the author's experience broadens, the writing turns outward and the poems are as worldly as they are American. Straight Walker includes recent poems, all of Pu'u Hue--Poems from the Big Island, all of The Book With The Yellow Cover, and several poems from an earlier collection, To Keep You Company.
