A Field of First Things
Greg Pape
In A Field of First Things, you can read some of Greg Pape's best work, featuring narrative poems of beauty and compassion, poems addressing the complex interdependence between humans and the natural world. "From Captiva Island's dock to a shared deep dive into Moby Dick, to the crashing waves in the South Bay, to a pool of mountain water, Greg Pape transports the reader across liquid time. Imbued with the trust of a loyal dog, we ride along like Lulu, marveling at Sandhill cranes and bucks in the Bitterroots, stare out at wide open mysterious desert nights and back into the still wet lives of people who have earned their venerable places in a constellation of shimmering memories. A Field of First Things allows the reader to experience the full power of a master poet who carries us willingly along on a journey where we are at once the ocean and the whale. And we all rise to the surface better for it."—Frank X Walker
