In the tradition of literary pilgrimages, the one is this book is
both physical and spiritual. Dave Oliphant moves us around West,
Central, and East Texas in poems named after towns: Wink, Denton,
Houston, Honey Island. These poems find the spiritual in the
ordinary and share such insights through sight and sound-especially
the many sounds of music. Read the poems aloud and listen; you will
hear music through the entire collection. The first poem starts the
book's pilgrimage with a psalm of daily life, and the final poem
offers a magnificent chorus of folk songs, symphonies, yodels, pop
music, and more. Oliphant's pilgrimage presents a montage of
striking personalities, from the saintly to the damned, from the
famous to the unnamed. Lovers of poetry will return often to this
book, always finding lines to ponder and treasure.
