Trout Rising

In the summer of 1992, Mike Boland became one of the founder members of the Trout Poets, a group of six friends who came together to publish, perform and collaborate in the production of poetry. The group subsequently published two collections, plus a series of sequences and themed poems which appeared in a variety of poetry magazines. Trout Rising collects Mike’s contributions to the project; they appear here together for the first time. The collection contains 40 pages of poems, some long, some short, on a variety of subjects, linked together using the theme of the nature of Time and its relationship to both nature and humanity.
