Patterson Gap Poetry: Book 2
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.
