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; man's 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. <p/>From Robert Frost's "Once by the Pacific" to Charles Bukowski's "Vegas," from Fred Koller's "Lone Star State of Mind" to Thom Gunn's "San Francisco Streets"-the West is evoked in all its incarnations, both actual and mythic.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Robert Mezey is an eminent poet, translator, critic, and editor.
