Specter Mountain is a book-length poetry collaboration between
Jesse Graves and William Wright that imagines the spiritual and
ecological life of an embattled landscape. The collection fuses two
striking poetic visions into a cohesive and innovative new
perspective on nature and the inevitable imprint of human
interaction with wilderness. Readers will gain a sense of the
permanent beauty of rivers and mountains, timeless images of the
sublime, and the grandeur that reaches beyond human life and
influence. Specter Mountain is a book of voices, delivered by an
impressive range of speakers, including even the mountain itself.
Sometimes they speak in chorus and sometimes in isolation, out of
the past and from the future, offering meditations and reflections
on our changing world. These poems reveal a sensitivity to the
passing of time, and to the many losses that people and places
suffer and outlast together. If the mountain is a haunted
landscape, it is also a place of aspiration, where traditions
flourish and customs give meaning to the lives that pass there. In
his preface to the book, celebrated poet and novelist Robert Morgan
says, ""Jesse Graves and William Wright are two of the most
exciting talents in contemporary poetry. Before they have spoken in
distinct and memorable individual voices. In Specter Mountain they
have pooled their considerable gifts and found a synergy that
yields a unique work that will serve as a landmark for our time,
and for many years to come.
