The verse collected here ranges from American Indian tribal poems to old folk songs like The Streets of Laredo, from country-western lyrics to the work of such foreign poets as Bertolt Brecht and Zbigniew Herbert. Here is the West in all its rich variety-the harsh life of farms and ranches; mans destructive invasion into forest and desert solitudes; the bars and bistros of San Francisco and Hollywood; Pacific surf and endless highways; the ghost towns, the poverty, and the legendary world of cowpunchers and gunslingers.From Robert Frosts Once by the Pacific to Charles Bukowskis Vegas, from Fred Kollers Lone Star State of Mind to Thom Gunns San Francisco Streets-the West is evoked in all its incarnations, both actual and mythic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819276632352,"sku":"NEW0375414592","price":23.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61hGFbEWtkL.jpg?v=1781129184","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/poems-of-the-american-west-everymans-library-pocket-poets-series-0375414592","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
