Description
Contemporary essays, literary nonfiction, poetry, short fiction, and excerpted fiction complete this anthology-the first since Paul Jamieson's Adirondack Reoder in more than twenty years-a sampling of some of the most exciting writers of the Adirondack Mountains. In the past twenty years the Adirondacks have inspired a resident population of writers and has gained regional and national prominence using the Adirondacks as their primary setting and subject matter or at least a significant point of departure. This anthology includes a mix of new and previously published works by forty-three established and emerging writers including Bill McKibben, Sue Halpern, Russell Banks, Alex Schoumatoff, Chase Twichell, Curt Stager, Amy Godine, Jim Gould, to name a few.
Reviews / Votes
There is a graceful and tacit balance, an understanding of the mature and dynamic relationship between our shared rights and responsibilities; and of the poignant, bitter-sweet realization - sometimes spoken, other times implicit - that not all resources are infinite or even renewable - wildness, or wilderness, chief among them." - Rick Bass, author of Winter: Notes from Montana and Platte RiverMore details
