A Boy's Dream - $15.95
by Wynn Yarbrough
Wynn Yarbrough brings together a deep awareness of nature, in the tradition of Dickey, with a contemporary romanticism, at times reminiscent of Ginsberg. His poems invite a reader to connect with archetypal energies, timelessness, a universality of experience.
