Synopsis
In this second book of haibun, Glenn G. Coats uses poems to explore his personal history. He examines the beginning of his teaching career in the mountains of North Carolina and introduces students who struggle with reading and writing. Coats writes of his summers in Ontario, days on the water, and isolation away from family and friends. He writes of people and places that are off the main roads, ones that are hard to find unless you look closely: a man selling sweet potatoes by a gas station, a grandmother who longs to read, the recluse who darts away from humanity, a soldier who sits alone at a Burger King. Character and characters are important elements in Beyond the Muted Trees. Coats concludes this collection with haibun about family, memory, and all he needs to hold on to, all he wants to leave behind.
