Описание: Here, Doug Stone, a fourth generation Oregonian, shares his love of Oregon--its places, its seasons, and its people. Through his lyrical and narrative poems, we are led to witness the power of place, the bonds of family, and his tributes to favorite artist and poets--all through the lens of the ubiquitous northwest rain.

In Sitting in Powell's Watching Burnside Dissolve in Rain, he has succeeded admirably." --David Biespiel, Poet-in-Residence, Oregon State University, author, A Long High Whistle (Oregon Book Award)
"Stone does not flinch from melancholy but also makes room for humor." --Rachel Barton, editor, Willawaw Journal
