Synopsis

The Root Endures begins with a rooster's crowing exultation, ventures through expeditions on foot and secondary expeditions to the quiet of personal discovery, and concludes with poems of the persistence of character that began in childhood. With narratives and lyrics of self-discovery and ecstatic intimacy, of love, loss, and public mourning, The Root Endures invites the reader on expeditions where motion tends toward stillness, and stillness toward a deepening.

About this title

About the Author

Jeff Burt grew up in rural and small-town Wisconsin, with a boyhood dominated by fields and water, Lake Superior, Lake Mason, the Fox River and its tributaries, Long Lake, and the Mississippi. He has lived in Northern California for most of his adult life, sculpted by redwood and hardwood forests, fires, droughts, earthquakes, and the Monterey Bay. He and his wife live in Santa Cruz County, California, where his three children grew and were released into the wilds of other places.
