Blood and Bone, Ice and Stone

by Glen Sorestad

Glen Sorestad has been publishing poetry for thirty years and throughout his distinguished career he has relied upon the central themes of family, history, nature, and friendship to guide his readers through his ever-expanding desire to name and remember. Blood and Bone, Ice and Stone continues Sorestad's poetic journey.

Whether seeking his family roots in Norway, capturing the small epiphanies in nature as he travels, or shaping the memories of those whom he has met and befriended, his poems deliver a supple wisdom and unfettered honesty.
