Stand Still in the Light - Paperback

by Milton J. Bates (Author)

Milton J. Bates's poetry collection Stand Still in the Light opens with an evocation of place, capturing the people, animals, and rugged landscapes of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Other sections of the book delve into the author's past, in particular his experiences as a soldier in Vietnam. The war poems were chosen as the runner-up for the Peter Meinke Prize when published separately in 2018.
