Windmill: Essays from Four Mile Ranch
by David Romtvedt
Award-winning poet David Romtvedt lives in the high, harsh, dry plains of northeastern Wyoming in the heart of a Basque community, where the struggle to survive shapes all who live there. Using the windmill as a metaphor, as Thoreau used the pond, Romtvedt takes the reader on a philosophical and spiritual search of fundamental truths in the commonplace elements of daily existence.
