STREAM IN WILDERNESS by John Swofford

My Dad’s people are from Western North Carolina, and my Mom’s people are from Salt Lake City, Utah.  I’ve been attracted to the mountains and or wilderness for as long as I can remember.  I hope to convey not only the peace that one can find outdoors—but also the energy that one can get from a good hike.  There is also the excitement that one might see wildlife—which I enjoy above all.

John Swofford is forty-six years old and has a relatively large body of work. His self-published books include a book of sonnets: The Infidel (2024) and two book length rhyming poems: The Absent Lover (2023) and The People of Eden (2024).
