About This Item
Salt Lake City, UT: Compost Press, 1985. First edition. Paperback. Very good. 63pp. Octavo [22.8cm]. Brown pictorial wraps with black lettering on wrap and spine. Front tail corner bumped. 'A Ceremony On Bare Ground' is a prayer to the wilderness, a personal witness seasoned with sweat and trail dust, an homage, a blessing to people, both native and immigrant who endure and flourish beneath the blaze of the immense western sky. It is a poetic ritual for rekindling the light of lives and times lost, a Ghost Dance invoking the rapture and torment of an existence inseparable from an overwhelming landscape. It is a ceremony that beats out a rhythm with the cadence of the heart -- a continuous harmony of past, present, life and death.
