This book describes a wild-land sojourn with woodstoves and ravens
in the boreal forest on the Canadian north shore of Lake Superior,
near Thunder Bay. The author, a forest-ecologist, distils two
decades of back-country living into tight, lyrical poems -- on
wildness, the seasonal darkness of the mind, relation-ships with
plants, animals and, occasionally, people. Strongly grounded in
Tang Dynasty poetry and Buddhist philosophy, his work moves beyond
description to focus on the iro-ny and agony of human
self-awareness, which forever removes us from natural systems. Yet
the poems reflect the author's deep fondness for northern wild
lands and life in remote re-gions. Sometimes he is also funny. The
narra-tive is complemented by the original art of Alanna Marohnic
whose work has foundation in extensive northern experience. The
book will be of special interest to people who "live on the edge",
those who hope to do so some-day -- and people who live there
vicariously.
