Description: "Steven Lautermilch's collection, Figures for a Family Portrait, carries the reader on a wave crest formed by the combined forces of the author's memory, imagination, and vision, with hauntingly beautiful poems about nature, from the Outer banks of North Carolina to the canyons of Utah; and affectionate sketches of family and friends, many of whom are no longer living. Lautermilch's forte is magnification, the extraordinary ability to pan and zoom through language and sound"--
