From the Still Empty Grave by University Of Nevada Press

Poetry, to Wilber Stevens, is a way of seeing things, of focusing our attention on the awesome dimensions of being alive. In this masterful collection of recent and older poems, Stevens explores the connections between place and experience, life and death, and the quotidian worlds of work, pain, and loss.

“Not all the poems are on the West, but the sense of place is so strong that the West is much like an attitude of being away and having to view it from a distance” -Books of the Southwest

“Stevens’ urgency is refreshing in an age of so much prosy, monotone verse. Who could read the line ‘God’s ice is my only road’ and ever forget it?” —Reno News and Review

Wilber Stevens (1921-1996) is considered one of Nevada's finest and most influential poets. His poetry goes to places even the most unfamiliar reader understands: the late-night desperation seen in city faces and long laments on the slowly disappearing western landscape. He was respected as a poet, editor, scholar and professor of English at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He served as Executive Director of the Rocky Mountain Modern Language Association in 1972. He was the founding editor of Interim, a poetry and fiction journal, and a long-time drama critic for the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
