The Red Drum: Poetry of the American West
Jane Candia Coleman
Winner, Western Heritage Award, National Cowboy Museum
Jane Candia Coleman's first book of poetry, No Roof But Sky, was received with enthusiasm by critics and readers alike.
The Red Drum, winner of a 1994 Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, expands on that rich tradition. Here are poems that are eloquent, earthy, and exact in their insight into the unsentimental reality of the American West.
"She doesn't waste words. She's not obtuse and
she's not obscure. She writes spare and lean and sinewy, and damn, she does
it well."
