After selling a couple million copies of his novels and non-fiction books, popular author Rick Steber breaks new ground with an innovative series of Western Way Prose & Poems. In this continuing series find the remarkable within the ordinary as we connect to the natural world in all its beauty, tension, mystery and sometimes even terror. His words help remind us of what it means to live out west. Writing the West (volume 1) Rick Steber writes the West in prose and poems, reminding us what it means to be alive on the broad panorama of our Western landscape, how man carves the landscape and how the landscape carves on man. He touches those brittle human emotions and feelings we all have as we reach for those things we cannot quite seem to reach.

Down a Long Dirt Road (volume 2) Rick Steber captures the essence of living in the wide open spaces of our Great American West. His poems and prose are fresh and spontaneous, revealing the remarkable within the otherwise ordinary. His words flow together like a lazy stream working its way to the distant ocean. You will be forced to slow down and appreciate the world around you, and perhaps lament a way of life that is all too fast disappearing.

Almost There (volume 3) How many times in life do we have a sense of being almost there; that, at last, we have almost reached that point of arrival? It could be an out-of-the-way place, or a state of mind or a feeling of accomplishment. Rick Steber explores the broad concept of almost being there in prose and poems.

Seldom Seen (volume 4) There are places in the Great American West that are seldom seen by man. Rick Steber reveals those places, in landscape and deep inside our soul, and describes those places with rich imagery in prose and poems that are fine and deep, strong and tender, subtle and yet filling.

Where Pavement Ends (volume 5) Life becomes more interesting and entertaining when we challenge ourselves to journey beyond where the pavement ends. Follow a rutted dirt road, or maybe nothing more substantial than a faint trail, and experience a raw and emotional trek into the heart of the Western backcountry. You are sure to return from this journey a changed person.

Allow your imagination to run wild as you build a campfire on the moon and read the poems of Rick Steber. His words will grab you where you live, and the rhythm and pace evoke images that are fresh, richly imagined, and executed with economy and wit. Toss another log on the fire, sit back, relax and enjoy the view from your “Campfire on the Moon.”
