Mining the Light

Mining the Light gathers thirty years of poetry focused on the outdoors. Fishing is what gets the poet to nature, but all that the natural world brings to light resides in the poems. Birth is there along with death, the ongoing richness of life, and the mystery of where we humans fit in, balancing as we must our time away from the natural world with our brief ventures into the wilderness. Poet, Keith Shein, has fly fished the rivers of the West and the saltwater of Key West. There’s a lifetime of experience and insight between the covers of Mining the Light.
