520 $aKirk Robertson is one of Nevada's best-known poets, and rightly so, because his lean verses powerfully express the realities of life in the modern West - its irony, disconnection, sadness, and relentless quest for meaning and a sense of place. Robertson's view is as vast as the landscape itself, and his voice echoes the place - laconic, authentic, rich in irony and the quiet strength of solitary men, full of the harshness and austere power of the High Desert.
520 8 $aThis new collection incorporates poems selected from Robertson's long and prolific oeuvre with a generous gathering of recent, hitherto-uncollected work. In reading these poems, we understand why Robertson has won his large and far-flung reputation. He is distinctly a poet of Nevada, of the West, but his poems help us locate ourselves, wherever we are.
