The Mountain That Eats Men: Poems

Spanning the globe from the rain-soaked forests of the Pacific Northwest to bucolic bustling of Tirana, Albania-even to to the stars themselves-Aaron Ericksen's most recent book, The Mountain That Eats Men, undertakes the monumental task of expressing the interdependence inherent in all things. Here, environmental concerns mimic political ones, language commingles with the visual, and autobiography becomes the story of us all. The poems evoke a specific place and time, rooted and palpable-whether that be the lingering spirits of the past in a small town or the current political climate as it might be viewed from the perspective of a foreigner. Their tone is sometimes whimsical, sometimes keenly somber, but always transcendent.
