Fleeing a failed marriage and haunted by ghosts of his past, Luis
Alberto Urrea jumped into his car several years ago and headed
west. Driving cross-country with a cat named Rest Stop, Urrea
wandered the West from one year's Spring through the next. Hiking
into aspen forests where leaves ""shiver and tinkle like bells""
and poking alongside creeks in the Rockies, he sought solace and
wisdom. In the forested mountains he learned not only the names of
trees-he learned how to live. As nature opened Urrea's eyes,
writing opened his heart. In journal entries that sparkle with
discovery, Urrea ruminates on music, poetry, and the landscape.
With wonder and spontaneity, he relates tales of marmots, geese,
bears, and fellow travelers. He makes readers feel mountain air
""so crisp you feel you could crunch it in your mouth"" and reminds
us all to experience the magic and healing of small gestures,
ordinary people, and common creatures. Urrea has been heralded as
one of the most talented writers of his generation. In poems,
novels, and nonfiction, he has explored issues of family, race,
language, and poverty with candor, compassion, and often
astonishing power. Wandering Time offers his most intimate work to
date, a luminous account of his own search for healing and
redemption.
