YOUNG EAGLE STANDING is a poem written by author Gregory S. Walsh in the summer of 1978 after his graduation from the University of Washington. Like many young people emerging from academic life into the world of work, Gregory found himself wondering which career, which adventure, would lead to the most creative life. By late August of 1978 he had no clue and sat down to express his frustration in writing. Young Eagle Standing is the culmination of his thinking at that moment in his life. A moment shared by millions of others who are perplexed by the choices that life presents. Some 25 years later Jean C. Walsh, Greg's mother, decided to turn his poem into an original work of art in book form. She designed and handcrafted each of the pages as well as the leather-bound and beade cover of the book (which measures 22" wide by 25" tall.) Now, 36 years after writing the poem, ten years after Jean's design of the book, Greg has photographed her artwork and turned the poem and illustrations into a hardbound book for people around the world to enjoy.
