Description

The strength of Tim Hunt's nature poems drew me into this book. His observation of light, rocks, a hawk and a field mouse in 'High Desert Summer, ' a California landscape, is so intense that he seems to long to become part of it. Then come the poems honoring and loving his family, whose history is made up of men and women 'getting by, ' 'learning to make do, ' acquiring 'that tricky pride of the poor--the failing that is success.' Here is a poet standing on the threshold of existence, acutely aware of the humans, both living and dead, existing in the rooms behind him, but wanting, 'other times, ' the consolation of nature. His ambivalence is a strength and enrichment, not only for him, but for his fortunate readers--Judith Hemschemeyer.

Author Biography:

A fourth-generation native of Northern California, Tim Hunt was born in Calistoga and raised primarily in Sebastopol, two small towns north of San Francisco. Educated at Cornell University, he has taught American literature at several schools, including Washington State University and Deep Springs College. He is currently Professor of English at Illinois State University, in Normal, Illinois. Hunt's poetry has been widely published in magazines, and he has published the chapbook Lake County Diamond. He has also been awarded the Chester H. Jones Prize for the poem "Lake County Elegy." FAULT LINES is his first full-length collection. His scholarly publications include Kerouac's Crooked Road: Development of a Fiction and the five-volume edition The Collected Poetry of Robinson Jeffers.
