Author Description

"Sacred Wounds", by PW Covington continues the Beat tradition of the American road-warrior poet. Covington's work is rooted in his personal experiences and in the energy of movement. These poems take us from the war-ravaged airfields of Somalia to south Texas ranches, from the badlands of Utah to the Bay Area underground, and from the isolated introspection of a prison cell to the foot lights of the spoken word stage. These poems will resonate with any reader that loves the rush of wind through their hair; any reader that fights against injustice, the status quo, or parochialism; any reader that still believes in the promise held by mountains on the horizon. The poetry is out there, and PW Covington has brought it back, in this collection from Slough Press.
