Clearwater Way: Poemsby Bill Siverly
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Clearwater Way is a journey from the Washington Coast, up the Columbia, Snake, and Clearwater rivers, through Lewiston (Siverly's hometown), and into the woods of north Idaho. In personal terms it represents a journey back in time to his childhood in the 1950s and '60s. The inspiration to make this book a journey upriver came from the Wasco myth cycle about Coyote, who, starting at the mouth of the Columbia, created land forms, resources, and cultural practices as far as Lapwai, Idaho. Clearwater Way evokes this landscape. Some places within it can no longer be found except in the deeper layers of memory and the unconscious, and in the poetry that draws them back and gives them life and the past regained. Other places remain as present as rivers and mountains themselves, the resonance of their being echoing through our lives and in these poems. About the AuthorBill Siverly is an editor of Windfall: A Journal of Poetry of Place and author of three previous books of poetry. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
