'West' Summary
The poems in “The Call of California, and other poems of the West” delve into the raw power of nature, particularly in the context of the Western landscape. The poems depict nature as a dominating force, showcasing its capacity for destruction and cruelty. Borton vividly portrays this power through his depiction of animal life, where the natural world is harsh and unforgiving. However, amidst the harshness, the poems also capture the heroism and determination of humanity in their attempts to subdue and conquer the wilderness. The collection highlights the struggles of pioneers as they confront the relentless forces of nature, and it celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The poems ultimately paint a portrait of the West as a place of both formidable challenges and profound beauty, where man's efforts to master nature are a testament to his courage and ingenuity.Book Details
