The Weird and the Wild - Paperback

In their third poetry collection, Rowan explores the contrasting worlds of everyday life and their wildest imaginations. The highs and lows of modern life are represented by day and night, boundaries separating the real from the unreal. Love and loss, loneliness and desire will guide the reader through the meandering trails of the mountains, pausing at scenic views to see the beauty in between virtue or vice. This collection is part autobiographical and part fantastical, struggling with the distinction between the two. With the natural serenity of the ancient Appalachian mountains as the backdrop, these poems attempt to mend the reader's own fantasies through common understanding and good relations.
