Mountain Bound: A Book Poems Mountain Bound is about inspiration and coming home. It's about southern mountains and mystery and the longing to live beyond the cares and clashes of modernity. It's a bluegrass of poems on man, nature and metropolis, and place and land, especially in the south. Sample: Seasonal turnings She's long lived / as a farmer's / wife She's gotten used / to his rhythms / in her life His rhythms / were seasonal turnings / planting to harvesting to a fallow fall Especially a fallow fall / when he kicked the barren soil / and stared straight ahead and far away But she was a good wife / she prepared and repaired / she cleaned and she dreamed They both dreamed, / through years that brought / days when despair was all they had And quiet mercies / dropped from their lives / like the last leaves of autumn When he left / the harvest was in / and she busily prepared The canning of the final fruits / of his labor that would see /her through the spring When seasonal turning / would bring to her / change. Book 3 in the Patterson Gap Poetry series.
