Heinsian SKI-BOY POETRY?
You've heard of cowboy poetry, written by everybody and
their dog who's supposedly a real working cowboy; well,
there's one poet parallel who makes his living horse-back
during the summer, ski-back during the winter, 'packing
snow for summer irrigation.' This man has created the first-
n-only brand of ski-boy poetry . . . to enthuse the thousands
of well-educated skiers he skis with, to divert their attention,
and to show them how a working ski-boy's life really is on
the winter range. Few English professors make expert ski-
ers, and few expert skiers appreciate classic poetry: . . . let's
bridge the gap between the intellectual and the physical--
why not take the classics of Poe, Frost, Service, Coleridge,
and more, and rewrite them for skiers? One good poem de-
serves another--in this collection:
Rossignol Ski
The Craven
Powder and Ice
A Chair Ride Before Christmas
The Turn Not Taken
The Cremation of Pamela McGee
How Do I Ski Thee?
A Turn Beneath a Turn
&
The Rime of the Ancient Schi Lehrer
Skiing is poetry in powder--get some rhythmic versed tracks
light-n-dry with seasoned ski instructor GARY HEINS, our
first-n-only maverick ski-boy poet parallel, straight from the
Heins-Quarters of the SWINGIN' G WINTER RANGE. Fi-
nally, some steep-n-deep poetry, . . . poetry you can plant
your face in.
GARY HEINS
SKIBOY POETRY
"For all we ever earn or just yearn. . . is but a turn . . . beneath a turn."
