The granddaughter of Scandinavian pioneers, Lauraine Wagner was born in 1926 in Holyoke, CO. You can feel the lonely high plains sky and the weight of the mountains in her writing. Most of her poetry was written later in her life, and with that perspective, she gives equal value and love to the people, events, and natural world that influenced her creativity. A remarkable, tender, tough collection of poetry from a wonderful poet and pioneer in her own right.
