For Lisa Knopp, homesickness is a literal sickness. During a
lengthy sojourn away from the Nebraska prairie, she fell ill, and
only when she decided to return home did she recover. Homesickness
is the triggering event for this collection of essays concerned
with nothing less than what it means to feel at home. Knopp writes
masterfully about ecology, place, and the values and beliefs that
sustain the individual within an impersonal world. She is
passionate about her subject whether it be an endangered beetle in
the salt marshes near Lincoln, Nebraska, a forgotten Nebraska
inventor, a museum muralist, a paleontologist, or Arbor Day as the
misguided attempt of Eastern settlers to "correct" a perceived
deficiency in the Great Plains landscape. Here is a writer who has
read widely and judiciously and for whom everything resonates
within the intricately structured definition of home.
