Blurb:
Attentive, discursive, given to forests and canyons, Deming's poetry and prose about wild places, plants and animals has earned her a reputation among nature writers, especially in the American West.[...] Deming writes at length about camping and hiking, trail beds and streams, then turns her attentions in part two from Arizona (where she lives and teaches) to New York, Hawaii and Provincetown.[...] [T]his book should please admirers of Mary Oliver, along with any other readers who seek serious, sincere thought about the natural world.
