About This Item
Kansas City: Andrews McMeel, 1979. First edition. Hardcover. A very good copy (nudge to top corner) in a very good jacket with light wear to extremities. A companion volume to Desert Notes. Lopez takes us into a different country where a nameless river flows through an animated world of herons, bears, and human beings. There is violence here, in the conflict of natural forces, in people touching the river. There are landscapes, physical and spiritual, that we have not sensed, rituals we have not understood. Like the earlier peoples of our land, and like few other American writers who have reentered this world, Barry Lopez respects the river and its imperatives, understands the language of the cottonwoods and the salmon, and brings us in an extraordinary dance with a heron to the oneness with nature which is our heritage. 100 pages.
