Synopsis

Anyone who has walked the dry, dusty hills outside Alpine, at the foot of the Davis Mountains, will know a little of what Larry Thomas writes about. He grew up in this hot, dry country, where survival was everything, and the terrors of nature were spiritual lessons. His poems celebrate a hard place, but one of rare beauty and depth.
