Store Introduction Special


Optimum Use of Space is the result of a self-imposed exile which was protected by the Alaska elements. "I tried to write about being alone, a curse and a blessing, in a completely foreign territory without family, old friends, and acquaintances to keep me from spilling out of my mold. It's about the challenges of the journey inward, discovering how tough I could be, and also how tender. Most of the poems were written in a 2-year period when I lived with my two children in a cabin without running water or electricity, a most natural setting for poetry to form."

Talented in the art of symbolizing emotion, ideals, and experience, Willis makes you cry and laugh, as well as live the life and episodes of this man of the plains, legislature, father, missionary, and church leader.
