White Boots: New and Selected Poems of the West

by William Pitt Root

William Pitt Root's White New and Selected Poems of West [are] poems of tender awe and Rilkean praise erasing completely the divisions between man and beast, poems that invite the reader upon their back and carry him across buttes and vistas, arroyos and sheer cliff shimmy holes, poems whose music is wound so tight that the stitches and sinews disappear and all that remains is the pure imagination made manifest and majestic, the reader alone on the plain riding their shine. --Keith Flynn, Asheville Poetry Review

Each line is a poignant reminder of how powerful a whisper can be when offered in understated and profound artistic skill and literary intelligence. There is nothing pretentious about the people - characters, and their lives, in Root's "White Boots"

I’ll totally give this five stars because it has incredible integrity and such deep character that I loved. Cowboy vibes for sure. Also, I love how he puts the locations of his places. I loved the one in Durango, Colorado!!😍😍
