Product Description
Meltlines presents poems that play with the glacial formations ("Lord, the erosion is everywhere"), grizzlies ("the first/ is a speck & how slow"), mountains ("molared and calcitic"), skies ("chandelier of the northern night/ come, swarm"), and trout streams ("Art's elk hair/ sinks. Clouds bury the peaks. You kneel") of the Alsek River region of northwest Canada and southeast Alaska. Thorpe Moeckel, winner of the 2001 Gerald Cable First Book Award for his collection Odd Botany, turns observation into personal landscape ("how desire with its low pay & overtime/ refuels there, at the eros of confluences"). Illustrated with a freehand map of the region by the author.

Surprising New Voice December 7, 2001

This is a wonderful book by a very promising new poet. Moeckel's writing is as breathtaking as the Alaskan landscapes he describes. Moeckel moves fluidly between majestic and awe-inspiring descriptions of nature and intimate explorations of the personal. This is writing which manages to be both grand and poignant--a terrific book, highly recommended.
