Download or read book Autumn in the Alaska Range written by Tom Sexton and published by Salmon Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are poems of the natural world, of light and dark and the changing of the seasons. We find Tu Fu chanting a poem deep in the Alaska Range, a man who becomes a bear during his morning walk, a world of light carved from a piece of ivory, and walruses in their home beneath the ocean deciding if they will offer themselves to a hunter. Not all of the poems are set in Alaska. There are poems about growing up in a decaying mill town, the suicide of the poet's mother and how the past is always with us. However, Sexton returns again and again to the conviction that the world itself is sacred -- an ancient belief we need to recover.
Download or read book For the Sake of the Light written by Tom Sexton and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of new and selected poems by the former poet laureate of Alaska, Tom Sexton, opens a door on the essence of life in Alaska and Maine. Sexton divides his year between the two states, and he captures here the small but powerful sensual details of day-to-day life in these contrasting, yet similar, environs. His carefully crafted verse distills the birch and aspen, lynx and ptarmigan, and the snow on high peaks. Through his poems we thrill to experience encounters with the wild, the seasons, and the sublime landscape. “His language is clear, without tricks or fancy moves, yet his directness is powerful, and the effects are human”—Paul Zimmer, Georgia Review

Book excerpt: Alaska in autumn is a soul-stirring spectacle that awakens your senses. The vast and glorious wilderness, the luscious, luxuriant flora aflame in fiery colours are a feast for the eyes and make your worries drift away like the autumn leaves. Invigorated by the fresh Alaskan winds, the author, on a 36,000km Pangea One World Expedition from the Arctic to Antarctic, traverses the length and breadth of Alaska's interiors. Starting from Prudoe Bay, on the Arctic Ocean, he heads south on Dalton Highway, Alaska's exciting Ice Road, across the Brooks Range, descending to the Arctic Circle. From Fairbanks, he boards the Denali Star for the spectacular journey to Denali National Park that was full of energy during the rutting season. Crossing the breadth of Alaska, he takes, in bad weather, a ferry from Homer, through the Gulf of Alaska and its many inlets, for the five-day sail to Bellingham in Washington State. Captivating stories of pre-historic migrants, explorers, hunters, gold-seekers and mushers tickle your funny bone. Sit back, laugh and absorb the views. Illustrated with 35 colour plates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With cultural remains dated unequivocally to 13,000 calendar years ago, Dry Creek assumed major importance upon its excavation and study by W. Roger Powers. The site was the first to conclusively demonstrate a human presence that could be dated to the same time as the Bering Land Bridge. As Powers and his team studied the site, their work verified initial expectations. Unfortunately, the research was never fully published.

Containing the original research, this book also updates and reconsiders Dry Creek in light of more recent discoveries and analysis.
