Description
Poetry. Like the contradictory forces convened in its title, THE AVALANCHE PATH IN SUMMER evokes both place and time, a history and the rupture of history, in a landscape structured by word and rock, torn by drought and fire and a body's failings, where poems resemble the mountains—and the lifetime of mountain walking—they represent, and whose representation they alternately embrace and disown.
