Lithic Scatter and Other Poems - Karla Linn Merrifield - Bog

At once sweeping, visceral, earthy, gritty, ethereal, and primordial, Karla Linn Merrifield's Lithic Scatter and Other Poems unfolds a kaleidoscopic odyssey of the American West at its all-natural wildest. Here is the frontier seen - and felt - through the eyes of a visionary poet who explores the region's vast terrains as anthropologist and archeologist, historian and ethnographer, shaman and seeker-after-self. From the whimsical to the emotionally searing, these 59 poems evoke vast landscapes rich in myth and mysticism, loss and hope. Merrifield captures the West's majesty and brings it home for all to discover.
