"This volume bears witness to John Haines' position as a true man
of letters. The essays, reviews, chronicles, memoirs, and poems
(spanning four decades) testify to the breadth and depth of his
concerns. The life - rooted for decades in Alaska - and the writing
are bound together inextricably...What interests Haines throughout
this volume is to clear away the numerous confusing,
self-justifying and downright mendacious vapors that surround
various human projects--be it drilling for oil or writing poems. He
is a critic in the pure sense--a truth teller who has no use for
relativism...Haines's voice is true and clear...an intensely
American voice in that it insists we can be connected to the land
in ways that may redeem and vivify us. It insists that the place of
poetry is central not peripheral. It is rooted in memories that
come from one man's life...This volume adds to the trove that he
has bequeathed us." (Baron Wormser )
