Description:

Focusing on home turf, 26 very different writers meditate upon nature as it appears nearby in the short essays in this small but potent collection. Poets Gary Snyder and W.S. Merwin appear, Snyder writing about the Sierra watershed, Merwin celebrating his life in Hawaii. The approach of the collection, with attention on the "Landscapes of Home," doesn't mean nature has to be wilderness: Novelist Pam Houston writes about Oakland, and essayist Andrei Codrescu offers a lively rumination on the urban landscape of New Orleans.
