by Mark Apel (Author)
In Peach Creek, Mark Apel, author of Dream Receipts, recalls the bugs, birds, bats, and babbles of his local, boyhood stream. Peach Creek is an unreliable, free-verse almanac of the life we find outside, a comedic compendium of beasts, and an incomplete poetic bestiary of the Pineywoods of South Texas to the Arbuckles in Southern Oklahoma.
In these 38 poems, Apel explores themes of returning to nature, re-wilding, the unavoidable proximity to bugs, and the simple consideration of the size of Blue Jays.
It is a witty, honest, accessible, and inspiring book of poetry.
