Iron Mountain Winter - Paperback

by Michael T. Ribble (Author)

Iron Mountain Winter may infiltrate the psyche during nights of foreboding skies, skeletal trees, and frozen earth but this surreal blanket can descend anywhere or time; during a shaman's fast, at a besieged Phnom Penh cafe, thumbing rides along the interstate, riding fence in thawing high country, or walking tranquil cemeteries. Pregnant with disquieting emotions, feelings, and reflections; it persists an instant, seconds, minutes, hours or lifetimes. This collection's ninety poems and vignettes build sequentially to capture this mood; all too familiar to those who experience it.
