Paul Sherman’s Poems of the Grand Canyon offers a rare poetic journey through landscapes, wildlife, and cultural traditions tied to the Canyon.
Seattle, WA, Washington, United States, 10th Nov 2025 – Author Paul Sherman is proud to announce the release of his first book, Poems of the Grand Canyon, now available on Amazon in both eBook and paperback editions. This moving new work offers readers a chance to experience the Grand Canyon in a unique way, through the power of poetry.
Sherman’s collection blends personal reflection, natural observation, Native American stories, and historical events into a heartfelt tribute to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. Written during and after his time working at the Grand Canyon’s historic El Tovar Restaurant, Poems of the Grand Canyon shows not just the beauty of the land, but the human connections that have formed around it for centuries.
A Journey Through the Canyon in Poetry
The book is carefully arranged into nine sections, each with its own theme and focus. From first impressions and hymns to animals, history, and legends, Sherman’s verses capture both the grandeur of the landscape and the stories that live within it.
In the early poems, readers are introduced to the Canyon’s overwhelming scale and timeless presence. Later sections move into deeper explorations: wildlife portraits of condors, lions, bats, and squirrels; journeys down into the Canyon on mules and rafts; and poems that retell Native American legends with respect and admiration.
Sherman also brings forward history, including a tragic mid-century airline collision, and the work of artists inspired by the Canyon’s majesty. The book closes with a centennial tribute to the Canyon as a National Park, marking 100 years of preservation and recognition.
Through this structure, the book becomes more than a set of verses, it becomes a poetic journey. Readers can sense the awe, danger, humor, and reverence that come with life near the Canyon.
Why This Book Matters
The Grand Canyon is one of the most visited and admired landmarks in the United States, but Sherman wanted to go beyond photos and postcards. He turned to poetry to capture feelings that pictures cannot always hold. “I felt if I created nothing about the Canyon while living there, it would be time wasted,” he explained.
That personal drive is clear on every page. The collection honors Indigenous traditions, celebrates wildlife, and reflects on Sherman’s own growth while living in the Canyon. At the same time, it encourages readers to think about preservation and respect for nature. In this way, the book appeals to both those who know the Canyon well and those who dream of seeing it one day.
Paul Sherman has been writing poetry as a hobby for nearly 20 years, but Poems of the Grand Canyon is his first published collection. His background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from Western Washington University, earned in 2014. He currently lives in Lynnwood, Washington, where he divides his time among interests in music, art, geology, poetry, and history.
The Canyon experience was a turning point for him, and this book reflects his deep respect for the land and the people connected to it. Sherman hopes that one day, his book will be found in the gift shops at Grand Canyon National Park, where visitors can take home more than a memory, they can take home a poetic reflection of their journey.
