Terri Wooten never wanted to write academic poetry.
“I had a vision of writing for the common people,” he says.
More than 30 years ago, he built a circle of boulders—88 in all—behind his house north of Elk Rapids. Since then, poets and storytellers have gathered around the campfire to perform for audiences that sometimes number more than 100.
This month, an anthology of Wooten’s poetry is out called "The Stone Circle Poems." Peter Payette stopped by his house and sent this postcard.
Terry Wooten will talk about his new book at Horizon Books in Traverse City on Saturday afternoon, March 14th at 4:00.
