Lifelines - Paperback

by Robin Magowan (Author)

Delicate and perceptive, Robin Magowan's eighth poetry collection is an invitation to witness an artist's life recounted through the warm slant of memory. Whimsical, physical sensations are grounded firmly in concrete visions of the natural world. Magowan digs deep into his past to recount memories that stretch across both oceans and decades: from the political uprising in 1960s Berkeley to the salted air of Greece and mind-altering substances in Death Valley. This collection coaxes readers into Magowan's world of earthly delights, calling forth the riches he witnesses in the poetry of nature and in the nature of poetry.
