In September 2003, W.T. Pfefferle (affiliation not cited) and his wife purchased a motor home and took an extended tour of the U.S. Along the way, Pfefferle visited with more than 60 poets, asking them about the importance of place in their work. This volume presents the text of those interviews, accompanied by one poem from each author. The interviews are woven together with segments of Pfefferle's travel narrative and illustrated with b&w landscape and author photos. Annotation �2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
