Eric Walter is a poet, musician, and teacher whose work is inspired and shaped by his love of travel and his deep regard for the natural world. He revels in music but is passionate about silence. He celebrates language and cherishes that which language cannot touch. He is a poet of many places - he has worn many hats, sung many songs, and walked many miles.
“These poems depict an aching for union with the natural world, to read an older system of meaning, and to find ourselves within those songs of memory. It's a desire that bridges ritual and conversation, insisting that mere observation – the insight of one man or woman, or the effort of lifetimes – can touch the sacred.” 
--Gordon Dahlquist (Author of "The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters")
"Eric Walter is one of the most gifted lyric poets in America. These are poems composed to last and to be read around campfires."
--Philip Woods (Author of "Lucid Dreaming" and "A Small Grace")
