These are poems of history, of the perils of logging in the wet forest of western Oregon. They are poems of living in the forest, of living on the coast, and of the beauty of that land.
From “Extended Forecast: More Rain” (“The ran taps at windows / with thousands of little fists, / fades to mist, ghosting the hills. //) to “Escape” about sunflowers who escape their confines, these poems will transport to a different time, and a different and beautiful way of seeing, the landscape and all in it.
If you’ve never seen an old growth forest, read Thalman’s book. If you’ve always wanted to see a storm at sea from the safety of your home, pick up this book. The poems are lyrical, plain -spoken, and wonderful.
