"Funny and tender beneath a wry and gruff seen-it-all veneer,
Harrison contemplates death, discerns divinity in every stone and
leaf, and nobility in ordinary lives, and laughs at our attempts to
separate ourselves from the rest of nature."--"Booklist"
"His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a
still-ravenous appetite for life."--"The Texas Observer"
Now in paperback, Jim Harrison's best-selling poetry book "In
Search of Small Gods" is where birds and humans converse,
autobiographies are fluid, and unknown gods flutter just out of
sight. In terrains real and imagined--from remote canyons and
anonymous thickets in the American West to secret basements in
World War II Europe--Harrison calls upon readers to live fully in a
world where "Death steals everything except our stories."
"Maybe the problem is that I got involved with the wrong crowd
of
gods when I was seven. At first they weren't harmful and only
showed
themselves as fish, birds, especially herons and loons, turtles, a
bobcat
and a small bear, but not deer and rabbits who only offered
themselves
as food. And maybe I spent too much time inside the water of
lakes and rivers. Underwater seemed like the safest church I
could
go to . . . "
