This book is pure art. When you are done reading you can hang it on your wall. Werner's writing, which novelist Thomas McGuane has described as «original» and «grounded,» resonates with the prose of Hemingway and McCarthy, as well as with the poetry of Rilke, Whitman, Roethke, and James Wright. This title will appeal to the literary environmental crowd. A short but epic tale, much like Jim Harrison's LEGENDS OF THE FALL, this novel will transport any avid reader to another time and place.Because of its excellent, polished, modern prose, we are also positioning the title to be used in creative writing courses in MFA programs.The author won the 2008 Utah Arts Council's Original Writing Competition for Nonfiction. Mr. Werner's poems, fiction, creative nonfiction, and essays have appeared in several journals and magazines, including Matter Journal: Edward Abbey Edition, Bright Lights Film Journal, The North American Review, ISLE, Weber Studies, Fly Rod and Reel, and Columbia. |
