The Call Of The Mountains And Other Poems

By James E. Pickering

A quiet, enduring voice meets the reader at the edge of the hill. A call to listen, to see, to breathe with the mountains. The Call Of The Mountains And Other Poems gathers James E. Pickering's early twentieth century verse into a fresh, accessible edition that places nature poetry and Appalachian America-set scenes at the centre of modern readings. This is a poetry collection and verse anthology that speaks with clarity about solitude and reflection, the spiritual nature found in landscapes, and the cadence of life in small-town and rural America. The poems move between intimate moments of mood and broader meditations on place, offering a home reading anthology that sits comfortably beside study and casual enjoyment alike. Historically, Pickering's work sits within a lineage of American nature verse shaped by the influences of Robert Frost and Edgar Lee Masters, and reflects the era's preoccupations with landscape, memory, and moral observation. The edition restores diction and texture for today's readers while preserving the period's sensibility, making it a meaningful entry point for poetry study for students and a rich, collectible experience for classic-literature connoisseurs. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Restored for today's and future generations, it invites a fresh audience to discover a quintessentially American voice in mountain skies and quiet, measured lines.
