Description

A contemplative logger sees God in the trees and snow fleas of the Vermont woods. He makes his way over land to the southern tip of South America (El Fin del Mundo) and back, finding God everywhere and nowhere, writing poems on buses and trains, in hostels and aboard ships down the always-churning Rio Amazona.
Though lost at times, he never loses his deep sense of wonder at the everyday miracles of the world or his yearning for a unifying significance. Sensual and vividly evocative of nature, love, travel, struggle, and grief and laughter, the poems collected in Lost in the Woods are a rich reflection of ten years' passage and the search for meaning and solace in the world and oneself....
