Cold Earth Wanderers & Other Adirondack Writings

102 pp. A collection of writings from the poets of the Ra Press Collective, a literary group working in the Adirondacks since 2002. This anthology includes the Ghost of Starbuckville Dam, a short story about adolescence, loss, and the world of the spirit by Mary L. Randall, set in a summer house on the Schroon River in the 1990s. Forty Falls is the third book in a series involving 'numbers and nature' by poet Chuck Gibson, here in its entirety. Westport poet Judith Dow Moore contributes a ten poem sequence about the subject of autumn. Mary L. Randall's ten sonnets protest a foreign war in very Adirondack terms while Judith Dow Moore creates a Westport ghost tale in verse. Other contributions include works by Cathy S. McDowell and Joan Frost (Ever So Slightly and Traveler). The anthology takes its name from William Blake's The Mental Traveler.
