Driving the Beast: Poems - Paperback
Description
by Christopher Bakken (Author), Wyatt Prunty (Editor), Leigh Anne Couch (Editor)
Driving the Beast is a book about movement. Christopher Bakken's poems shift between Greece and the American Midwest, tracking the restless nature of selfhood, while seeking glimpses of the sacred in landscapes scarred by history and political turmoil. The book's back-and-forth mirroring invites readers to confront their own reflections in moments of catastrophe and wonder, and to view them alongside those of immigrants and refugees.
