Abstract |
"In this relentlessly honest poetry of the American West in the 1970s, Jim Heynen discovers a wealth of forms for its contradictions, cruelties and changing beauties ... reveals a civilization haunted and fragmented by its own past. The heroic myths of the West survive as the sad/comic surfaces of a lived disturbance. Indian and white worlds remain utterly divided. The Black Hills are packaged for commodity"--Back cover blurb. |
