The Donner Party

By George Keithley George Braziller, Inc.

“The Donner Party is one of the three or four finest book-length American poems ever written.”—Poetry. “Out of the western migration of the 1840s…Keithley has made a lean, taut narrative poem that moves with the speed and terseness of a killer shark.”—The New York Times. “Keithley’s account of the Donner tragedy is a major event in American letters.”—X.J. Kennedy.
