Two Elk

by Andrew Schelling

Poetry. Andrew Schelling's high county notebook is a contemplative fusing of nature journal and psychotropic poetry. Full of what the author calls "dream world distortions," this collection has "the detail and monumentality of bonsai trees and the sheer sweep of Shelly's Mont Blanc"--Michael McClure.

It is really a joy to know Andrew and find his book in a pile of free poetry that Innisfree laid in the park after they closed after the pandemic, then read the book months later, hearing the entire journal in Andrew’s cadence. Feeling the mountain wind from memory curl to your body then resist. Lovely moment.
