description: The people and landscape of northwest Maine, northern New Mexico, southeast Alaska, and the Connecticut River Valley are explored in this book of poetry. Celebrating what little is left of the wild, these poems honor the way people struggle and survive in small towns that are close to the enduring danger and magnificence of nature. Filled with a variety of people, including machinists, loggers, ranchers, conservationists, and all these poems exemplify the individual struggle for dignity and value when set against, and radiated through, nature's most dramatic and beautiful scenery.
