Dale K. Boyer Western American Literature, Volume 15, Number 3, Fall 1980, pp. 213-216 (Review) Published by University of Nebraska Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/wal.1980.0027 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/531005/summary Access provided at 24 Feb 2020 16:34 GMT from JHU Libraries Essay Review The poems under review fit into one of three universal categories: the one in which the narrator reports and interprets but does not participate in an event, the one in which the narrator does not move very far away from describing the personal dimensions of an experienced event, and the one in which the narrator describes something he has experienced while simul taneously or subsequently complicating it for thematic purposes. Each book contains more of one category than of the other two, allowing generalizations. Poets belonging to the first category listed above find their materials at a greater remove than do the poets in the other two. Conger Beasley, Jr. draws on accounts of Harry T rum an’s walks, Anglo race riots in the Los Angeles Barrio during World War II, and de Anza’s explorations of the Colorado Desert in 1774 for poems in Over DeSoto’s Bones (Boise, Idaho: Ahsahta Press, 1979. 57 pages, $2.50).
