BUY THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED A COLLEGE COURSE, NOW IN ITS 4th EDITION, WITH 4 NEW POEMS ADDED. Song of Ramapough is a poetic celebration of land and life. This collection of poems, centered around a particular place, the Ramapo Mountains of New York and New Jersey, is inspired, in part, by the local geology, biology and human history. With such precedents as Charles Olson's "Maximus Poems" and William Carlos Williams' "Paterson", the poet seeks a deeper connection with the greater Earth processes for both himself and the reader.
