Summary

"Falling somewhere between a "diary-poem," a "daybook," "autobiography-in-verse," and an "essay-poem," In a Landscape is noted poet and critic John Gallaher's most personal, straightforward, and revealing book yet. In lyric-prose that continuously circles the questions it raises, Gallaher sloughs off the garb of "poet" to address life questions in a way that few poets of his generation have been willing to risk. Family, death, adoption, children, parents, high school, music. Gallaher's subjects carry weight because of their absolute commonness.John Gallaher is assistant professor of English at Northwest Missouri State University, and co-editor of the Laurel Review. "--
