If there was an official poet laureate of the West, Don Thompson
would be my choice. For four decades he has reminded us what it
means to be alive out here, coping with a world we do not fully
understand. In Local Color, he employs an original format to
present, as usual, wonderful word-pictures. Also as usual, "place"
is a character in his work, but not just any place: the south San
Joaquin with all its peculiarities and wonders. No writer has seen
more there or told more telling tales as a result. This is
narrative poetry that really narrates
-Gerald Haslam, author of Straight White Male and Leon Patterson:
a California Story
