In Jone Rush MacCulloch's poem "Safe Zone," the serene imagery of fishing by the Deschutes River contrasts with an undercurrent of inner conflict. As stoneflies are cast into the protective embrace of basalt walls, the poem reveals that even in moments of peace, the struggle persists. A delicate exploration of tranquility amidst turmoil.
