Laureate of Georgia
In these frenetic and often frightening times, Michael Walls delivers just what we need so much. His calm, steady gaze embraces not only his own life but our collective past and current history. With unflinching courage and honesty, he considers both the joys and scars that only lovers see. Going far beyond most books of poetry, his poems of the Marshall Islands are must-reads for every American.
-Dan Veach, founder of Atlanta Review, author of Lunchboxes and translator
of Beowulf & Beyond and Songs of the Cid
These are poems animated equally by conscience and close observation. In a compelling combination of free verse and received or invented forms, Michael Walls pays tribute to family, friends and lovers-memory clutched inside the dissolution that time brings. But his gaze also moves farther outward to contend with the human ravages on the natural world, the profound harm of empire and colonialism, and today's dire political moment. Climbing an Unnamed Mountain is impressive in its range and in its depth.
-Luke Hankins, author of Radiant Obstacles and founder and editor of Orison
