A few years ago I wrote a story inspired by John Haines titled “A Walk in the Woods With John Haines”. As his words and thoughts continue to provide guidance over the years, I return to this piece and update the images and feelings to reflect the experiences that have defined me.

Love his poems! Some of them I had in a mimeographed chapbook …
Glad to hear from another John Haines fan. Some of my favorites are in “Own in the Mask of the Dreamer”. Great essays in “Fables and Distances”.
I’ll have to look up his stories and essays. I’ve long been a big Gary Snyder fan, and Haines fits in much of the same groove.
