5.0 out of 5 stars
Tales, images and re-creations by a master poet of the West.,
By
This review is from: No Roof but Sky: Poetry of the American West (Paperback)
I stumbled on this book in the only bookstore in that tawdry 'soiled dove,' Tombstone--and spent an evening lost in its exquisite, straight-on poems. Coleman's work here covers lots of ground, from the Apache Wars to the Star of Bannock, from a cowboy's victrola to quiet words at the edge of the mesa at Acoma. Many are grounded in Coleman's own southeastern Arizona. A few gems: "Belle Starr Addresses the Sewing Circle" is a frontier woman's eloquent assertion of her personhood and sexuality. "Letter from San Pedro" is a transplanted easterner's small, certain, flowing evocation of western land. "The Rainmaker" stirs together Bisbee, a bit of tall tale, and the worth of water in arid places. Read these poems. They'll leave you changed, a little more certain.
