A Thousand Miles of Poetry In this evocative poetry collection, poet, hiker, and outdoor enthusiast Katrina Serwe traces a thousand-mile odyssey along the Ice Age Trail, each segment etched into verse. Poemwalking, as Serwe describes it, captures the trail’s pulse across every season woven into recollections, layered metaphors, and the whispers of ancient moraines. These poems, like the glacial till that inspired them walk the reader over the rugged and gentle landscapes of Wisconsin shaped by the energy and ice of long ago.Praise for A Thousand Miles of Poetry Katrina's work melts deep contemplation with casual comfort, wisdom with awe. —Dasha Kelly-Hamilton, Wisconsin poet laureate, 2021-2022 Serwe’s poetry dips, climbs, stops to ponder, and often takes our breath away as it steps us across the glaciated terrain of Wisconsin. —Jim Landwehr, author of Tea in the Pacific Northwest and five other poetry collections. A thousand miles is distance worth celebrating in and of itself, and this Katrina Serwe does in her poems that are both powerful and calm. —Margaret Rozga Wisconsin poet laureate 2019-2020, and author of Restoring Prairie, and others Serwe is a special kind of observer—gifted with patience, a keen eye, a big heart, and the poet's special ability to capture our vanishing natural world, she takes readers where they’ve never been before. Take this special collection and go hiking with her! —Ronnie Hess essayist and poet and author of seven poetry collections and two culinary travel guides. |
