Synopsis

RETURNING is a chapbook of poems by Colorado poet, Rich Green. While hiking in the Sangre de Cristos, the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the Flatirons of Colorado, the poet reflects upon our interconnectedness to Nature and to one another. Themes emerge: looking into a horse's eyes, listening to ravens in flight, making a simple cup of tea. Conversely, powerful poems relate to love, loss and war, and the plight of refugees and displaced immigrants.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

RICH GREEN is a native of Colorado and long-time resident of Boulder. His work history is varied: tutor and community organizer with Native Americans in VISTA (domestic Peace Corps), ESL teacher/job developer with refugees, Navy Hospital Corpsman, freelance writer, guidance counselor and instructor at Auraria (CO) colleges, photographer, and peace advocate.The author asserts that writing poetry is a lot like storytelling: Some poems are based upon fact while others are framed solely within the imagination. The themes of returning focus on simple everyday living - listening to ravens, making a cup of green tea, reflecting on the beauty of nature, hiking, exploring ghost towns - while conversely many of the poems ponder the loss of a love, racial injustice, and the profound and devastating effects war has on individual lives: "... no one wins in war."In returning, Rich's long journey brings him home to himself.
