The Final Hike and the Soul at Bay
()
About this ebook
In The Final Hike Rod Grant draws on his long and varied experience to explore nature, life and death and the fate of man in his lyrical and moving style. In his poem The Final Hike from which the title of the book is taken, he describes the last of his annual April 5 pilgrimages to the Dungeness Spit.
In the Soul at Bay he draws on his early work to describe the anguish of a young man facing the challenges of life and his own frailties in powerful and insightful verse.
