Description
Frank X Walker's When Winter Come: The Ascension of York is a powerful reimagining of Lewis and Clark's American West journey. This collection of poems challenges traditional views by focusing on the humanity and struggles of York, Clark's slave. Through vibrant and evocative language, Walker brings to life York's expertise as a hunter and his deep connection with the natural world. The poems also explore York's spiritual experiences and personal relationships, including a poignant meeting with a Nez Perce woman. With its alternately heartbreaking and uplifting tone, When Winter Come offers a nuanced portrayal of love, loss, and survival. By shedding light on the often-overlooked figure of York, Walker's poetry provides a fresh perspective on an important chapter in American history.
