Westbound 380 : A Highway Through Time

The winner of the 2019 William D. Barney Memorial Chapbook Contest, sponsored by the Fort Worth Poetry Society. From its opening poem, which situates the reader in West Texas, to its last poem, which speaks of a 'mulch of memories, ' "Westbound 380" creates nostalgia for a way of life that is passing. This collection is a paean to a once-upon-a-time place and to the independent spirit of the people who still call it home. Robert Schinzel skillfully draws on the elements of this land, its natural setting, its wildlife, and his encounters with farming and technology, to create metaphors for human nature that have universal application.
