description: Woodsman, philosopher, poet Joseph Mayo Wristen is the quintessential Northwest man. In this collection, Wristen introduces us to his neighbors from all walks of life, including the homeless, the unique, and the rebel. Presented with a wide variety of members of the animal kingdom -- real and metaphorical -- the reader is taken to the realms of nature, the imagination, and the cosmos. From desolate urban indifference viewed from his window, to the natural beauty of his Native Northwest landscape, the poet explores both the isolating and the connecting moments in human experience.
