Poetry Series Selection
Congratulations go out to Scott R. Welveart, whose poetry collection, Pacific, was a SOL Books Poetry Series selection.
From the judges: Pacific is a poetic mix of Rent and Romeo and Juliet. Two star-crossed lovers, David and Marti, set out to fulfill their dying wish: see the Pacific Ocean. They begin in Minnesota, where they meet at an AIDS clinic, and Pacific chronicles David and Marti’s journey through the Black Hills, past Devil’s Tower, and to Cannon Beach. Before reaching their destination, they must first accept their fates and the past choices that have lead them down this tragic road.
