Bøker av Walt McDonald

A lifetime collection of poems by esteemed Texas literary voice Walt McDonald, as selected by the poet himself.

The poems in this volume celebrate with praise and amazement the wonders and risks of wilderness and family, of friends before and after the war. The boy in these poems grows up during World War II, feisty in spite of losses and the harsh, hardscrabble land where he lives.

Who more than the Southwesterners who've boldly claimed their home under the same tornado skies could have more cause to celebrate the millennium? This title includes poems that connect to the moments in time that the photographs preserve, and evoke stories that focus on the scope of life then and in the century since ranching came to the region.
