About the book

This is my third collection of poems. It has a beautiful cover designed by Randy Cox. Many of the poems “happen” in the Northwest — in Yachats or Cascade Locks, along the Klickitat River or Catherine Creek — but they range as far as New York and Pakistan.

Don Colburn is a poet and retired newspaper reporter in Portland, Oregon. He has published four poetry collections, most recently a chapbook called Tomorrow Too: The Brenda Monologues. His poems have appeared widely in magazines and anthologies, and won the Discovery/The Nation Award, the Finishing Line Press Prize and the Cider Press Review Book Award. During his newspaper career, he was a reporter for The Washington Post and The Oregonian, and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in feature writing.
