Alaska the Last Frontier

This collection of poetry and short prose pieces is not a flowery rhapsody about strolling through the wilderness. It is well-crafted and imaginative writing with a deep sense of place and strong attachment to the earth. Like the southern stories of Eudora Welty or the New England poems of Robert Frost, Lecomte's collection of poems and stories is regional literature at its finest, firmly rooted in the Alaskan soil.
