Harmony River - Paperback

Rooted in the landscape and culture of the Pacific Northwest, Jaech found formative literary influences in Mother Goose, Theodore Roethke, William Stafford, Nelson and Beth Bentley, David Wagoner, and Richard Hugo. As an heir to the legacies of Blake and Neruda, Jaech's images remain near the borderland between the real and surreal and seek to reach beyond the commonplace and into the unforeseen. Drawing clarity from ambivalence, Harmony River is the culmination of years of dedication to writing and teaching poetry, and to the epiphanic grace of making art.
