TO WHERE ARE WE BOUND

Benjamin Mueller's debut poetry collection, To Where Are We Bound, examines coming-of-age in a dying steel town, the desire for escape, and the power of place to shape our lives. The collection uses images to tell the story life in a small, rural Pennsylvania town. From Friday night football, to the shuttered steel factory, to the closed Main Street store fronts, Mueller's poems echo the voices of a past that is very much still present.
