Title: Voices of the Wind
Description: This slender volume, a poetic journal, offers slices of history, some segments of one man's life, and bits of modern madness.We can listen for the voices of the wind those heard by the indigenous people and those whispered to the one waiting impatiently for that bitch who is holding up the checkout line at Safeway. We capture a vision of an inland, waterless sea, wind-blown waves of prairie grasses beating on the shore of distant hills and we share the joy of first-time home ownership.The realities of poverty, the hardship of prairie living, and the excitement of discovery bring life to a time that many of us do not remember. We share more up to date moments with Maynard Ferguson and Lawrence Welk even while we consider the qualifications of candidates for the Nitwits Hall of Fame. Voices of the Wind, they are part of our heritage and they deserve to be heard.
