Steptoe Butte: Poems

<p>Clearwater Way is a journey from the Washington Coast, up the Columbia, Snake, and Clearwater rivers, through the poet's hometown of Lewiston, and into the woods of north Idaho. In personal terms it represents a journey back in time to childhood in the 1950s and '60s. In mythic terms, it represents the journey upriver by Coyote in the Wasco myth cycle. Starting at the mouth of the Columbia, Coyote created land forms, resources, and cultural practices as far as Lapwai, Idaho. Clearwater Way evokes this landscape. Some places within it can no longer be found except in the deeper layers of memory and the unconscious, and in the poetry that draws them back and gives them life and the past regained. Other places remain as present as rivers and mountains themselves, the resonance of their being echoing through our lives and in these poems.</p>
