In Gravity National Park

In his poetry, writer and mountaineer C. L. Rawlins evokes the natural world and the American West in exciting detail. Philosophical, harsh, beautiful, gritty, in his poems Rawlins reveals himself to be a ""non-romantic Romantic.""A mountaineer and field hydrologist, he expertly approaches nature and the environment without sentimentality. In this second collection of his poetry, Rawlins speaks of many of the major issues of our time, in accessible yet wonderfully crafted poems. Rawlins treats the world of the human heart with wit and humor and great humanity.
