IN THE WILD WILD-WOODS TO-DAY
A breezy, affectionate tribute to Colorado, this collection springs from the memories of a native who grew up amidst roaming bison, elk‑filled valleys and the quiet of early frontier towns. Through vivid verses and short sketches, the author paints day‑long picnics by the Platte, mountain breezes over snow‑capped peaks, and the simple pleasures of cabin life, all while recalling the colorful characters—Native children, passing stagecoaches, and the hardy pioneers—who shaped his youth.
The book slides from playful poems about fishing, motor‑cycle jaunts, and summer romances into more reflective pieces that linger on the timeless sky and the quiet woods. Listeners are treated to a gentle, lyrical walk through a bygone era, where nature’s grandeur and everyday humor mingle. It’s a soothing portrait of a land and its people, perfect for anyone who enjoys poetry that feels like a warm campfire on a clear Colorado evening.
