Willing Pioneer, A Journey in Poems

By Linda Duede Starbuck

In Willing Pioneer, Linda Duede Starbuck takes readers on a journey that is part quest, part retreat, and part flight from the past. But pioneering isn't easy-the speaker of these poems follows her "smoldering trail" forward, from familiar prairie, to the wild Klondike, to the refuge of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Our pioneer keeps moving, beyond memories and longing, blazing a path away from a past that has become "a theatre with an expired lease." This beautiful collection is travelogue and diary, confession and meditation. The poems give us an unsentimental and uncompromising view of breaking new ground, while giving us the hope that "all the answers lie just beyond visible light."
