A poet of the American West, Alan Stephens evokes a primordial place, one met with only in the great poems of Native Americans and the ancient Chinese and Japanese. His rhythm and words are spare, but infused with the clear, dry-air vision of the ordinary. Stephens writes about the Colorado plains of his youth and the backcountry of Southern California, imagery of the subtropical and the desert - oriental, mundane, and mediterranean.
