520 1 $a"John Daniel writes from the ground he walks and the landscapes he inhabits in the Far Corner of America, spinning narratives that seek to define how he belongs to the land and to the wholeness of life itself. He takes his readers to beaches, old-growth forests, sagebrush steppelands, and deep river canyons - wild places, and places scarred by human uses - and leads us too through inner terrains where he explores mortality, creativity, and spirituality." "Both lyrical and informational, these essays are diverse in focus, various in length, and inventive in form - one is constructed as a journal, two as linear montages. By turns playful, awed, cantankerous, and tender in tone, they deliver themselves in a style of high informality, welcoming readers to join the author as he journeys through some of the puzzlements and sadnesses and small glories of living."--BOOK JACKET.
