4.0 out of 5 stars Adiós to all that . . ., February 28, 2005
This review is from: High Lonesome: The Vanishing American West (Paperback)
New York city born, Yale educated, and raised in California, Dayton Lummis has written 100 poems collected here to memorialize all that's remote, isolated, and "lonesome" about the vanishing American West. These are more monologues than poems, written in the colloquial vernacular of men at home in pickups on strange backroads, a six-pack in the cooler, and an eye for subtle changes of open landscape and changes of weather. Elegiac in tone, the poems are memories of places and people, remembered fragments of barroom conversations, and a record of travels all over the western states. Great to read late at night, with a ceegar and a cold beer.
