Turnbull, Belle & Villines, Jeffrey: Belle Turnbull: On the Life & Work of an American Master

Pleiades Press, paperback Published: June 15, 2017 Edited by David Rothman and Jeffrey VillinesPublisher Marketing: Since 2009, The Unsung Masters Series has presented accomplished writers who deserve greater attention. In this, the ninth book in the series, the featured writer is Belle Turnbull (1881-1970), the first strong poet to live in and write about the mountains and high mining towns of the Colorado Rockies. Well-known during her life but long out of print, Turnbull's lyrics of sublime alpine wilderness and her narratives about the harsh and dangerous world of hard rock mining offer us a profoundly original vision of the American west that transcends the region.
