The author of the highly praised Sky's Witness returns to the Salt River Range of his youth. "To be found", C.L. Rawlins writes, "you must be lost, or lose yourself. ... To be whole, you must know you can be broken". Thus begins his life-altering journey over the mountains. Broken Country is a work of power and understanding, and Rawlins a poet who reminds us that understanding is rarely kind.
