Familial Love and Other Misfortunes
These poems of recapturing the poet's Eagle River upbringing in 1930's are a luminous tribute to the well-know "dust bowl" Oklahoman-rooted poet Wilma Elizabeth McDaniel. He found a soul-mate in Wilma by being inspired by her ability to rise above and create laconic & poetic gems of the desolate dust of her past. He in return creates poetic close-up of his rural Wisconsin roots. "He captures people, places, and events like dragonflies in amber."--Poet Antler. "Peters' knuckle-hard language keeps any nostalgic sentiment at bay." --Billy Collins
