These stories take place on the West Coast (US and Canada) in the 1960's/70's; where I lived and worked for many years. They are in an arbitrary order, to create suspense and direct the reader away from obvious connections; to break-up the narrative line and bring new moods/themes to the fore. There was a multitude of things going-on along this coast with many different kinds of people; making for an attractive destination and some fascinating accounts -- all the way from mountain skylines in Yosemite Park, deserts in the south and timber forests further north. In between were goldfields and panhandlers, dreamers and rednecks; coming together to make a brave new kind of world. This coast is a very big territory; stretching all the way from Mexico further south, right up to the Yukon snows - small towns and famed cities, farming and colleges, work and travel, with hopes and dreams.

The poems are not free of rhythm or...
