Walking with the Bear: New and Selected Poems

Walking with the Bear is a life work-a past, present, and future of renowned Michigan poet Judith Minty's work over the last thirty years. In essence, Minty is writing one long poem from the moment she begins her journey, taking us with her on this road with her intimate vision. Beginning chronologically with selected work from Lake Songs and Other Fears (1974), Yellow Dog Journal (1979, 1981), Letters to My Daughters (1980), In the Presence of the Mothers (1981), Counting the Losses (1986), and Dancing the Fault (1991), Walking with the Bear then continues with new poems, bringing us along the shifting, but never-ending path of Judith Minty's poetry.
