Poems from the High Prairie
By Mary Hohmann
()
About this ebook
The high prairie is a hidden world above a winding river valley in the foothills of the Rockies. You cannot see it from the riverbed below. When the valley lies under a dense mat of fog, several thousand feet upward, blue sky and bright sun bathe this prairie grassland. From the high prairie, you can see snow-covered mountain peaks many miles away. This book of poetry shows how it is possible to live above the valley of this life with its tragedies and failures by choosing the view from the high prairie.
