GREENBRIER FOREST
Poems by Dabney Stuart
Twice a year Dabney Stuart and his wife spend a week in a West Virginia state park. They return most often to the same cabin in Greenbrier State Forest. Stuart began the poems here in that place, and has spent the past fifteen years or so extending and revising them. The result is a series of meditations deriving primarily from the sights and sounds of Greenbrier Forest. Occasionally the work invokes other locations, as in “The flat arc of this ocean:” the speaker is watching the Pacific Ocean, but it turns out to be not all that far from Hart’s Run in West Virginia.
DABNEY STUART has published sixteen previous volumes of poetry, most recently Open the Gates, Tables, Family Preserve, and The Man Who Loves Cézanne. A former resident at the Rockefeller Center in Bellagio, Italy, he has also held a Virginia Artists Fellowship, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He won the Library of Virginia Poetry Prize for 2006. His work is in the audio and video archives at the Library of Congress.
