These poems in Slack Tide reveal both the joys and travails of a Californian through three-quarters of a century. From baseball cards and cul-de-sacs in 1950’s Altadena to environmental issues in 1970’s Humboldt County, from love at first sight in a UCLA dorm room to a wistful farewell to his beloved wife, Rick Rayburn has constructed this collection of poems to reveal many facets of his remarkable life as husband, father, son, naturalist, and writer.
