THE FEATHERED EDGE Inner fence was beyond mending every animal in the barnyard went a different way. Completely connected but mostly confused he put the cutters in reverse; his soul a restless farmer condemned to farming, farmed no more. Weatherman's poetry is about a poet finding himself. It moves from a romanticization of a past life in Montana, trips to Alaska, and finally to Canada, where he would start a family. His poetry moves toward a mystical detachment from a troubled society and marriage, where his poetry becomes a personal refuge. Finally, he realizes the power of authenticity in our own voice, that we have always had each other, and that the only power we lose is the power we give away.
