From Kim Heacox, the acclaimed author of The Only Kayak and John
Muir and the Ice That Started a Fire, comes Rhythm of the Wild, an
Alaska memoir focused on Denali National Park. Music runs through
every page of this book, as do stories, rivers and wolves. At its
heart, Rhythm of the Wild is a love story. It begins in 1981 and
ends in 2014, yet reaches beyond the arc of time. Author and
mountaineer Jonathan Waterman has called Heacox "our northern
Edward Abbey." In this book we find out why. We hitchhike with Kim
through Idaho, camp on the Colorado Plateau, and fly off the sand
cliffs of Hangman Creek with a little terrier named Super Max, the
Wonder Dog. We meet Zed, the Aborigine; Nine Fingers, the blues
guitarist; and Adolph Murie, the legendary wildlife biologist, who
dared to say that wolves should be protected, not persecuted. Kim
also reprises in this book his friend Richard Steele, a beloved
character from The Only Kayak. Some books are larger than their
actual subject-this is one. Part memoir, part exploration of
Denali's inspiring natural and human history, and part conservation
polemic, Rhythm of the Wild ranges from funny to provocative. It's
a celebration of-and a plea to restore and defend-the vibrant earth
and our rightful place in it.
