A small Minnesota town. Two generations. One boy learning where he comes from.
Greetings From Bullhead Country is a collection of narrative poems rooted in family, neighborhood, and memory-set in a small town in Minnesota in the 1960s and 70s, when the world was shifting fast and home was shifting with it.
Scott Vetch captures the transitioning life of a curious boy trying to understand the people who raised him: farming grandparents shaped by hard seasons and earned wisdom, and suburban parents reacting in their own way to the cultural changes of the era. Between them, he listens, questions, laughs, and learns-looking for the patterns that make a family a family.
With insight and humor, these poems offer advice and family tales, vivid portraits of ordinary lives, and the quiet turning points that shape a child into himself. At its heart, this collection is an honest, tender look at how we're formed by the people who love us, the hardships they endure, and the everyday things they hold dear.
In this collection you'll find:
- Coming-of-age poems steeped in Midwestern place and time
- Generational contrasts-farm roots and suburban life-set against 1960s/70s change
- Neighborhood scenes, family stories, and hard-won tenderness
- A clear-eyed look at how love and hardship shape who we become
