Idyll Natures explores the interplay between fantasy and reality, the romantic and the pragmatic, and the ideal versus the real. Told in two parts, Pastoral and Postmodern, Idyll Natures invites the reader to reflect on their existence and the world around them through the juxtaposition of poems about the extraordinary and the everyday, and consider their place in the natural order of things. Idyll Natures is the third collection of poetry from Dustin Howard, Poet Laureate Emeritus of Reno.

Introspective and curious, Engrams takes the reader on a journey of self-reflection and discovery, revisiting old growing pains, questioning the nature of fatherhood, and the delight and disaster of growing up gay in the Midwest. Binding it all together is a story about family, sacrifice, and understanding. Packed with stories of childish mirth and deeply somber moments, and with short flights of fancy in between, Engrams contains touchstones of everyday life that invite the reader to consider their own memories of growing up and finding their place in the world.
