Offering perspectives both intimate and expansive in nature, these poems are informed by Romtvedt's world--both the immediate, rural landscape of his home in Wyoming, and by sociopolitical forces outside his control. In a voice that ranges from ambling to angry, Romtvedt captures the essence of the American West in the tradition of Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, and Allen Ginsberg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn these poems, Romtvedt pulls together the absurd details and grievances of life: a dying neighbor whose tree is occupied by vultures, a daughter who is tear-gassed at a peace rally, the march of pickup trucks headed for a Bob Dylan show, even a yellow rubber figurine of the Buddha with a cell phone; all are fodder for his poetic imagination. Above all, these poems speak to an American consciousness, both at home and abroad, and an arching dedication to personal obligations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Some Church: Poems | David Romvedt | Paperback | 9781571314222 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1661306","offer_id":50784630898946,"sku":"1661306","price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61h0t4bWj0L.jpg?v=1792239245","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/some-church-poems","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
