Synopsis
With exuberance and economy, Merrill Gilfillan's Undanceable evokes the landscape of the American West through the geographic word. Place names, the texture of speech, and a certain aroma of nature permeate these pages. Ever alert to unforeseen connections, Gilfillan follows both eye and ear, his poems unfolding at the pace of consciousness. /> />Sample Poem: /> />A faint breeze />in the old swallow dens. A man />mounts a mare. And the roughlegs, />maculate riders, imperial /> />boreal tilt />and tack, wiser than owls, />drift disdainfully south.

Softcover. Condition: Very good. First edition. An association copy, inscribed in the year of publication on the title page: "For Jim [Harrison] -- Merrill Gilfillan, 12-2005." Uncommon signed, and uncommon book in general, it seems. From the library of novelist-poet Jim Harrison in Livingston, MT. On the front free endpaper is a post-it that reads in Gilfillan's hand, "I know you like Elaine." An inside joke? "With exuberance and economy, Merrill Gilfillan's Undanceable evokes the American West through the geographic word. Place names, the texture of speech, and certain aroma of nature permeate these pages." Gilfillan isn't a household name, but is also an immensely talented essayist. Harrison himself commented about Gilfillan, "If anyone writes better prose in American I am unaware of it." Agreed. A very good or better, crisp paperback with a minor coffee stain to top edge of the text block that doesn't effect or show on the pages. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 1799
