The Voice of the Borderlands

About this book

Drum Hadleys poems said Allen Ginsberg are "like time and death." Gathering forty years of Hadleys work this extraordinary collection ranges from powerful lyrics to droll Western "haiku": A Long Days Ride My horse looks smaller than it did when I left. It also commemorates one mans richly eventful career as a poet rancher and dedicated conservationist. A friend and literary associate of writers including Robert Creeley and Charles Olson Hadley is a poet of and for the land he has helped to preserve: Wash me along the rims of arroyo rocks Carry the dust carry the sands Carry these words my seeds Down these blue desert valleys away.
