In a brief span of pages Tony Howarth brings to life the outsider artist Dag, and Molly, the owner of the diner where Dag finds both coffee (with milk, three sugars) but more importantly, understanding. It should come as no surprise that Tony Howarth's debut poetry chapbook takes the form of a "drama in verse," for it draws on his considerable experience in the theater. Or that his attention to fine detail and compact narrative reflect his background as a journalist. His years as an educator show in the lessons here about human nature and the values of empathy and kindness. But with this book he now firmly adds poet to his list of achievements. In a brief span of pages he brings to life the outsider artist Dag, and Molly, the owner of the diner where Dag finds both coffee (with milk, three sugars) but more importantly, understanding. Like Dag creating his art from refuse, Howarth creates an entire world out of the fragments of Dag's life. As Dag struggles to create his art and his life, he finds another companion in the sculpture of a broken angel; but it is Dag himself who is the broken angel of this story, a spirit unsuited to life in our fallen world, but perhaps one who redeems us through his art and his example. Poetry. Drama.

Lyman Wight (1796-1858) was born at Fairfield, New York, the son of Levi and Sarah Corbin Wight, and a descendant of Thomas Wight (d. 1674), the immigrant. He married Harriet Benton (1801-1889) in 1823 at Henrietta, New York. They had six children, 1823-1838. The family joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Saint in 1830 at Kirtland, Ohio, and migrated with members of the Church to western Missouri in 1831. He was imprisoned with the Prophet Joseph Smith and others at Liberty Jail, 1838-1839. Lyman Wight was ordained a member of the Council of the Twelve of the Church in 1841 at Nauvoo, Illinois. He married four other women, ca. 1845, and was the father of nine other children. In 1843, a group of families, known as the "Pine Company" went to Wisconsin to havest timber for building at Nauvoo with Lyman Wight in charge. This "Pine Company" migrated to Texas in 1845 after Joseph Smith's death, and settled at "Zodiac Community", near Fredericksburg, Texas. They later moved to Hamilton Valley, Burnet County, Texas, then Bandera County, Texas. The colony left Bandera County and was perhaps migrating to Utah when Lyman Wight died near San Antonio, Texas. Children and grandchildren listed lived in Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Arizona, Utah, and elsewhere.

Early in the nineteenth century, the mountain men emerged as a small but distinctive group whose knowledge and experience of the trans-Mississippi West extended the national consciousness to continental dimensions. Though Lewis and Clark blazed a narrow corridor of geographical reality, the West remained largely terra incognita until trappers and traders--Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzpatrick, Jedediah Smith--opened paths through the snow-choked mountain wilderness. They opened the way west to Fremont and played a major role in the pivotal years of 1845-1848 when Texas was annexed, the Oregon question was decided, and the Mexican War ended with the Southwest and California in American hands, the Pacific Ocean becoming our western boundary.
