Certainty

Award-winning poet David Romtvedt lives in the high, harsh, dry plains of Buffalo, Wyoming in the heart of a Basque community, where the struggle to survive shapes all who live there.

"It is nice to hear from this poet who at his best gathers what is serious and what is dreamy and what is funny and makes them stand up together. David Romtvedt is like a loyal consul who represents a species that has done some terrible things: undeluded, he still loves us, and keeps laying out more high-hearted policies for us all." -- Carol Bly.
