Felton Prairie - Paperback

by Rodney Nelson (Author)

Poet Rodney Nelson's home region, the Red River prairie, has been called a valley but is in fact a seabed with hidden beaches rimming it. The native and restored grassland of Felton Prairie is up on one of these. Nelson walks there often and has borrowed its name for this collection of poems.
