C.L. Rawlins is one of the finest poets of the West writing today. A mountaineer and field hydrologist, he approaches nature and the environment expertly and unsentimentally. In accessible yet wonderfully crafted poems, he speaks poignantly of many of the major issues of our time. Rawlins treats the world of the human heart as well, with wit and humor and great humanity. In Gravity National Park is muscular yet subtle, and this exciting collection culminates in a dazzling (and very rare) double sestina, Solvay Trona Mine. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
