The Hills Around Are Dust and Light - Paperback

by Karen Gookin (Author)
These poems sketch a portrait of the author's growing-up years in Montana surrounded by her wheat-farming father, a busy at-home mother, two older siblings, and a lonely grandmother. Moments of strife and stress return, but here you will also find joy and a great deal of love and gratitude for each other, for hard work, for the mystery of life, for the land, and for what the land has endured. Her poems become the embodiment of memories-from eating brown sugar sandwiches, to skipping rocks on a Glacier Park lake, to wandering through dreams and the afterlife-as they offer family stories, tragedies, speculation, and attempts to understand it all.
