Acrostic Woodstock

In more than seventy poems, Will Nixon offers a portrait of Woodstock, NY, a village of beloved shops, free spirits, artistic traditions, spiritual refuges, and unexpected moments of humor and grace. Poems recall Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble or the night Jimi Hendrix played the Tinker Street Cinema. There are elegies to famous painters now in the Artists Cemetery. There are odes to the hardware store and pizza parlor. All sides of Woodstock life find their way into the book. An afterward, "The Stories Behind the Poems," provides further history and lore.
