Replete with breathtaking landscapes, teeming with wildlife and
charged with emotional power, "In Case Of Bears" marks the
publishing debut of award-winning poet Peggy C. Hall. Inspired by
her travels in the American West, "In Case Of Bears" straps the
reader to the passenger seat of a cross-country trek, over Rockies,
Bitterroots, Badlands, Blackfoot Hills and the Lewis & Clark
trail with Hall's poetic wagon train west. Hall impresses us with
mastery of poetic forms from around the world, including many
complex Irish and Welsh forms of her ancestry. "Idaho Suite" pays
homage to Hall's own private Idaho, its majestic wilderness deep
within untamed America, her summer home in its center, the danger
and delight surrounding it. "The Rest of The West" follows Hall
through the Rockies, Pacific and Southwest, and the philosophical
dilemmas of America as they emerge from her observation. In "Wild
Things" Hall turns this voice inward to face the bears of her
psyche while mirrored by the real dangers of animal encounters.
Triumphant and uplifting "You Gotta Have Art" and "CeleBEARations"
highlight Hall's literary prowess while filling the reader with
positive spirit. "What About Our Teddy Bear?" sees the return of
hero Gus Greenbear to the written page, complete with entourage and
new adventures. And finally, "Route 12, Idaho" returns us to a
respectful view of wondrous Nature. With a masterfully poetic
voice, Hall transforms her transcontinental travels, roadside
revelations, encounters with wild animals and even wilder folk into
poignant poetic gemstones, quick on the pulse of a Native America
seldom seen today.
