Wedding the Wild Particular
“Robert Benson’s essays, personal but tough-minded, draw the reader  into  a sensibility that  feels  and understands the landscape   (particularly of  the Gulf Coast), hunting, English letters, friendship,  and the faith so ancient and so new.”--D.E. Richardson“The personal essays inWedding the Wild Particularexamine  with sensitivity and poignancy the thought processes of people who hunt,  and Benson recognizes that the entire exercise and those who  participate in it are living on borrowed time.”—Tom Kelly, author ofThe Tenth Legion“Robert Benson is a scholar, a teacher, a poet, and—not least—a hunter,  who not only delights in the wild particulars of the natural world but  finds them essential for his writing and teaching.”—John Shelton Reed
