The Earth-Boat

By Joseph Hutchison

The eighteen poems in this collection take an arc-like journey through western North America. Colorado, Mexico, California - regardless of place, Joseph Hutchison finds a way to commune with nature and communicate with people. These poems simultaneously describe focused moments and broad narratives in language infused with the inhabitants and sensations of each place. Crows. Comets. Mountains. Oceans. Hutchison's description of this earth-boat we all share is so engaging that "for a few breaths you may] feel it drifting." This revised and updated edition celebrates Hutchison's appointment as Colorado's Poet Laureate for the 2014-2018 term.
