Intimate Distance is a multi-dimensional collection of poems by an award-winning and widely published writer. The book is a rich and nuanced immersion in specific landscapes of Oregon and the American West. It's also an exploration and deep critique, via portrait and persona, of cultural constructions of nature, estrangement, maleness, and loss. The poems, written over a thirty-year period, juxtapose images and ideas, presence and absence. As Gregory Orr has written: "With a deft intensity and an unerring ear, John R. Campbell probes at the mystery of things, insisting that the density of experience yield secrets that will sustain us."
