Trailer Park Psalms: Poems by Ryler Dustin

5.0

I love, love, love this book! The author has a background in slam poetry which is reflected in the wonderful musicality of his poems. They are also filled with images from the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest and the rural experience. The title poem is particularly well done. Another favorite is called "To Make Color" in which the author shares how his grandmother emptied the stove in their trailer home of ashes each morning "for the garden in spring." Tree lovers will especially appreciate the many references to trees found in the Evergreen State.
