Woodpecker and other poems, by Robert Terashima

Poetry, chapbook, 48 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Most of the poems celebrate experiencing the creatures around us and where they live, often in spite of us. In some of the later, longer poems, attention turns to the human creatures we live among and to ourselves.

The writing, hopefully, continues to explore the idea of composition by field that writers of an earlier generation seized upon.

Robert Terashima is a retired pediatrician living with his wife Karen about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City. They have enjoyed years of camping in the canyons close by, and in southern Utah.
