The Weight of Dusk: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419669330)

Stewart S. Warren, writer and performance poet, was born 1950 into the affluent southern society of Tulsa, Oklahoma where, Stewart says, he was raised by slaves and all night gas station attendants. After completing 9th grade he hitch hiked out of the grasslands to find his teachers in the counter-culture of San Francisco and worlds beyond. Among other things, Stewart is an evocateur and whether seen as an instigator, community leader or troublemaker, he points out that it's really a matter of Grace that allows him to notice what's emerging next. Much of Stewart's inspiration has come from his ecstatic experiences with the inevitable landscapes of the American West where he reflects upon the human condition: our struggles, our beauty, our heartbreaking determination.
