Wild birds and good dogs, timeless books and endless questions, lonely places and moving water, the grass below and the sky above, and the never-ending absurdity and enduring beauty of life.
Passages that instantly transport the reader to the solitude and beauty of open country. Emotionally charged writing that cuts to the core of why wild places matter.
Rough-hewn ponderings on woodsmoke, fried squirrel, dirt roads, creek water, generational curses, and living in the Anthropocene
A writer whose deep roots, commitment to place-based living, and authentic writing style is reminiscent of Wallace Stegner's reference to a certain Kentucky-based writer: "If you don't know where you are, says Wendell Berry, you don't know who you are."
