Facing The Mountains

Poems from Stehekin

 

Excerpt from Introduction:

The people who now call “The Way Through” home are blessed with the awareness that every sunrise and every season contain seeds for a new beginning.  As you read the following poems, I hope you discover this place time and time again.

David Kurth

As a boy, David sought out the wildness of biking through the streets of Portland, Oregon, to the shores of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. He found vacant strips of land overgrown with blackberry bushes and wild grasses, relishing the remoteness he was destined to continue seeking. Even today David desires to go deeper into wildness. The longing does not end.

Part of the searching and seeking is in the sharing. It is why David has felt compelled to continue to put down in poetry the stories of life in wildness…life in Stehekin, Washington.

Step into his world, holding only the ethereal love of language, discovering that you hold what really matters.read up on it
