Finally, the book that started it all. -- In the beginning of the saga, before the homesteading and the wild food, there was poetry. Ken Heitz was in a blue period of his life and began a process of spontaneously writing, for himself alone. He was working out what was important in life: the big questions. At some point he shared his writings with Linda Runyon, and the rest was history. Ken and Linda were married and began a great adventure together. They started their wild experience in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York in the early 1970s with the ideas & ideals at the core of this new book fixed firmly in their minds. You may be wondering- "But if it's new, how could it be a part of their history?" True, the poems were written many years ago, and Ken & Linda always wanted to publish it. They even published excerpts of it in the form of 2 smaller works during the homestead years. But only now has the book they dreamed of come into being.
