Rimes of an Ancient Ski Teacher--heinsian Skiboy Poetry Gary Lee Heins

Let's bridge the gap between the intellectual and the physical, between downhill skiing and great poetry. GARY HEINS, our first-ever maverick skiboy poet parallel, has taken the classics of Poe, Frost, Service, Coleridge, and more, and rewritten them for skiers. One good poem deserves another--there are nine parodies in this collection, including: "The Craven," "A Chair Ride Before Christmas," and "The Cremation of Pamela McGee." Skiing is poetry in powder--get some rhythmic versed tracks light-n-dry with this seasoned ski instructor. Finally, some steep-n-deep poetry, . . . poetry you can plant your face in. "For all we ever earn or just yearn . . . is but a turn beneath a turn."
