In a Landscape e-bog

Falling somewhere between a "e;diary-poem,"e; a "e;daybook,"e; "e;autobiography-in-verse,"e; and an "e;essay-poem,"e; In a Landscape is noted poet and critic John Gallaher's most personal, straightforward, and revealing book yet. In lyric-prose that continuously circles the questions it raises, Gallaher sloughs off the garb of "e;poet"e; to address life questions in a way that few poets of his generation have been willing to risk. Family, death, adoption, children, parents, high school, music . . . Gallaher's subjects carry weight because of their absolute commonness.John Gallaher is assistant professor of English at Northwest Missouri State University, and co-editor of the Laurel Review.
