Poems by WSU English Professor Linda Russo draw on the expanses of the Palouse.
Linda Russo translates the environmental characteristics of the Palouse from scenery to words in a slender volume of her poetry, Meaning to Go to the Origin in Some Way.
The cohabitation between humans and nature is explored everywhere from a home garden to the vast wheat fields. Her other poems delve into post-pastoral themes of consumer development on farmable land.
