The voice that brings us these poems is multifaceted-now a reporter for the "Daily Sun," now a child, now a ghost, now historical, now autobiographical-always revelatory in its life force and urgent questioning. It is, finally, as fluid as the river that winds through, uniting these singular and unknown selves. Their worlds-and ours-intersect and flicker in this haunting book.
Nance Van Winckel is the author of five books of poetry, including "No Starling" and "After a Spell," winner of the Washington State Governor's Award for Poetry, and three collections of short stories. Her numerous awards include two National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowships, a Pushcart Prize, and "Poetry Magazine"'s Friends of Literature Award. She lives near Spokane, Washington, with her husband, the artist Rik Nelson.
"An exquisite collection. Those who love stories; those who are interested in ways of thinking about memory, the passing of time, family history, old photographs; and those who enjoy just hovering for a moment in the beauty of arresting details and language will be eager readers of "Pacific Walkers."" -Nancy Eimers, author of "A Grammar to Waking" and "Oz"
