With eloquent and exact language, Stacy Coyle captures the complexities of a landscape both powerful and forgiving. Here she casts her poet's eye on inhabitants of the American West: moose, horses, elk, coyotes, and humans; on a spring tooth harrow and an Aermotor windmill; on seldom heard from places like Ramona, Kansas, and Albin, Wyoming; on things as hard to see as an American marten and Montana's smallest fish. She writes of the ever-changing weather: the ice cycle, a break in the storm, and cloud seeding. She takes metaphoric pathways to explore the poor farm, the Antlers Bar, dry ponds, cedar ridges, and Mike's Game and Taxidermy. You'll find this an unsentimental and honest look at the West, articulated with a care and wisdom not often found.

Praise for this book

"Stacy Coyle is a fine poet who has a painter's eye, a storyteller's interest in Western people and their relationship with land, nature, and culture of the region, and an ecologist's understanding of the unity of all forms of life. Much of her poetry in Cloud Seeding deals with Wyoming's past or present and, like all of her work in the book, does so in strikingly fresh and thoughtful ways." -- Robert Roripaugh
