Safely Home Pacific Western (eBOOK)

"Jeff Latosik's Safely Home Pacific Western is a unique take on a travelogue, focusing on the impact of the sights along the way and exploring varieties of individual interpretation." — Arc Poetry Magazine

"These lithe and sinewy poems will repay many readings, Latosik unpacks a wealth of invention — from music to machinery to weapons — and questions the human path through time, our filling and emptying of the world." — Ronald Wright

"Jeff Latosik's materials are slyly intriguing, his manner nimbly inventive. One doesn't say this often, but if you want adventure, go to poems like those in Safely Home Pacific Western, a book that gets no less adventurous with each read, but even wittier and more deeply moving." — Jacob Polley
