Readers new to O'Connor's work will discover the poignancy, humor, insight and compassion that illuminate O'Connor's most enduring poems. Old Growth is essential reading from one of the Northwest's most engaging poets. "With sly humor and an irrepressible boyish enthusiasm Mike O'Connor chronicles his hardscrabble adventures exploring and working in the mountains and river valleys of his native Olympic Peninsula, followed by many years in Taiwan studying and translating Chinese poetry--all this permeated by a Buddhist practice. Blue-collar America meets the Tang dynasty! Old Growth is much more than a book of poems. It is the record of a man's life."--Clemens Starck Poetry.
