Description
FRUIT FROM A WILD ORCHARD selects from poems written over four decades--from the 1980s to the present--by a quintessentially Western American poet. Coy sets poignant memories of family life and careful observation of nature to the music of his imagination, and his warm voice invites you to share his world, to join him on a trip down his own unique memory lane. Coy's poems are rich in detail, varied in tone, and masterful in their use of metaphor.
Poetry.
