Poetry. A VERTICAL MILE from Richard Wakefield is a finalist in the
2011 Able Muse Book Award. Keenly observed themes about people and
the land they live in show a profound sense of awe before natural
beauty and a love of country life, while recognizing the effect of
indifference and inexorable technological advancement. Included are
poems about childhood, seasonal changes, mountain climbing,
religion and its questions and doubts, life and death, human
origins. These poems of stunning artistry show Wakefield in
complete command of his craft. This a memorable collection whose
insights and pleasures are not to be missed."Deeply rooted in the
human history and natural order of his native state, Richard
Wakefield's A VERTICAL MILE depicts life in rural
Washington--people, animals, plants, geological formations, the
weather and the seasons. Building on his powerful and impressive
first collection, East of Early Winters, Wakefield, in A VERTICAL
MILE, has now firmly established himself as one of America's
foremost formal poets. In their memorable presentation by way of
deftly employed narrative, meter, rhyme, metaphor, symbol, and
diction, the poems in this new collection, once read, cannot be
easily dislodged from the mind. That, in itself, is evidence that
Wakefield's best poems are a permanent addition to American
letters."--David Middleton
