West, Poems of a Place (Paperback)

West, Poems of a Place is a book which describes and revels in the changes in the author's life when he and his wife moved out of San Antonio, into a country place in the small town of Lytle, Texas. Dedicated to the fine Texas poet, Robert Burlingame, West's focus on the dayliness of the natural world and the wonder of it to new eyes, is a celebration in keeping with Burlingame’s voice and vision. This book is rich in names—places, plants, animals—and has a celebratory tone that is infectious.
