Reading this collection of lush and sensual poems is like lying in a field on a perfect summer day or underneath the shade of a tree. The poems also transport one to the splendor of the Western American landscape as the poet serves as tour guide, historian and musician in these memorable and engaging poems.

The nature-focused poems are lovely and approachable. The other poems can feel forced and/or pretentious. Many poems seem to be about people or locations but not exactly specified. Does this follow or somehow otherwise pair with a memoir that would make this make more sense, or does it make perfect sense to a niche market of microgeography?
Some poems seem almost like historical fiction. The notes in the back are slim and do not explain every poem and only sparsely explain the poems they do address. The reader may feel still a bit at sea even after reading the notes.
Poems about Native history don't have source notes or credits. References to the Bible and dead white male poets outnumber these poems with more diverse focuses
