flower
​house and
feral sun
​is a collection of poems written over the past two years by La Crosse, WI poet Peter Engen. Like his literary inspirations Bukowski, Fante and Robert Bly, he draws pictures of everyday life with gusto and insightfulness. These musings are part darkness and part sublime, reveling in the seasons painted by the natural world and the world inside.

Grateful acknowledgements to the editors of the following magazines, where some of these poems first appeared:
Halfway Down the Stairs, La Piccioletta Barca, High Shelf, Steam Ticket, Avocet, and Contours
​

​Peter Engen grew up in the oldest Norwegian settlement West of the Mississippi. He has lived most of his life in the hills and unglaciated valleys of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Some of his deepest poet yearnings were sought and quenched in the megalopolis cities of New York and Los Angeles before returning to his roots in the Upper Midwest.
