Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I visited Glacier Park in 1955, saw my first glacier, and have chased that inspiration ever since. Margaret Hasse's beautiful collection portrays that indescribable presence with poems that are vivid and alive. -Will Steger, polar explorer and champion for climate action Margaret Hasse has written a poet's guidebook to Glacier Park, filled with images that anyone who has had the great luck to hike and camp there will recognize: "bear grass plumes," switchbacks, huckleberries. Yet, just as in the best travels, these poems offer the unexpected-a "crepuscular sow" coming out of her cave in spring, a list of specific healing properties of wildflowers, streams tossing "their jumble of silver off the sides of ridges," and animals who might interpret our recent passing as "smelly ghosts"-opening our eyes to the fresh and miraculous properties of life on earth. -Melissa Kwasny, Montana Poet Laureate, author, Pictograph and others Margaret Hasse's poetry brings back a wealth of memories of my lifetime of adventures in Glacier National Park. As a park historian, I used a 1926 diary and a photo album of Gladys Johnson, Margaret's mother, to create a display (hosted by East Glacier Lodge) about Gladys as a young woman in the park. Gladys' descriptions are vibrant. Margaret's poems show that the daughter inherited her mother's physical spunk and way with words -John Chase, teacher and historian In The Call of Glacier Park Margaret Hasse takes you along a winding trail into the deep and mystical wilderness of the place where her mother once worked and hiked the trails. Her words, always elegant and perfectly chosen, brim with emotion and promise. Take this journey with her. -Bill Meissner, author, Light at the Edge of the Field and others

The authors reflect on Lorca or embody his spirit as they consider what is happening in the world around them right now.

Download or read book Placing John Haines written by James Perrin Warren and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Haines arrived in Alaska, fresh out of the Navy, in 1947, and established a homestead seventy miles southeast of Fairbanks. He stayed there nearly twenty-five years, learning to live off the country: hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering berries, and growing vegetables. Those years formed him as a writer—the interior of Alaska, and especially its boreal forest—marking his poetry and prose and helping him find his unique voice. Placing John Haines, the first book-length study of his work, tells the story of those years, but also of his later, itinerant life, as his success as a writer led him to hold fellowships and teach at universities across the country. James Perrin Warren draws out the contradictions inherent in that biography—that this poet so indelibly associated with place, and authentic belonging, spent decades in motion—and also sets Haines’s work in the context of contemporaries like Robert Bly, Donald Hall, and his close friend Wendell Berry. The resulting portrait shows us a poet who was regularly reinventing himself, and thereby generating creative tension that fueled his unforgettable work. A major study of a sadly neglected master, Placing John Haines puts his achievement in compelling context.
Download or read book The Glacier s Wake written by Katy Didden and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her debut poetry collection The Glacier’s Wake, Katy Didden attends to the large-scale tectonics of the natural world as she considers the sources and aftershocks of mortality, longing, and loss. A number of the poems in the collection are monologues in recurring voices—specifically those of a glacier, a sycamore, and a wasp—offering an inventive, prismatic approach to Didden’s ambitious subject matter. As poet Scott Cairns says, “Didden’s is a capacious voice, able at once to deliver both wit and wonder, canny insight and meditative mystery.” In The Glacier’s Wake, the scientific, the elegiac, and the fantastical intertwine in the service of considering our human place—constructive and destructive, powerful and impermanent—amidst the massive shiftings that are occurring endlessly all around us.
Download or read book Imagine the Glacier written by Matthew Burns and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-05 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintenance is the expense no one ever estimates correctly, and that margin of error, of uncertainty is the real cost, the one Matthew Burns assesses with such precision in Imagine the Glacier. None of the losses (a chicken named Ginger gone to a hawk's dinner, the absence at the heart of a John Prine song) are too small to record; none of the gains (a wife's new dress considered in light of what in the world it can't solve, the relief of a late matinee with The Royal Tenenbaums diminishing into dusk) sufficient to offset the atrophy of old towns, the calamity of wildfire, the darkness surrounding a train's headlight on a curve. But to see this all clearly (the perennially unsold vans in a used car lot, the bright slivers of metal left in a hand from sharpening a shovel) is to experience what these poems offer so generously and scrupulously, a world as immediately present as it is imperiled. -Jordan Smith, author of Little Black Train Steeped in the everyday violence of the wild that is and is not human, Imagine the Glacier argues that even the devastations of our age can yield to intimacies with the lover and the other, including the non-human, such as animals and the elements, weather patterns and the seasons. In an age of rapid urbanization when one place seems interchangeable with another, Burns casts a compassionate, granular gaze on human-built and natural environments, capturing their interconnections and textures in gorgeous, vividly rendered poems. Embracing the warp and weft of deep time and personal memory, Imagine the Glacier teaches us how to live-"how to go home"- in the Anthropocene: "Look/ at the rivers in their swell; they have nothing/ against you; they do not care; not about the time/ in '89, in January, when you almost drowned, / setting old tires on fire and sliding them/ across the ice like cheap comets..." -Sarah Giragosian, author of The Death Spiral An expertly crafted first collection, Imagine the Glacier roves through landscapes domestic and natural to recover precisely what's there: "high pines and flowers, / the leg of an elk / some vulture left / dangling in a tree," or "a coyote running / from one culvert to another / in the black of a desert unlit / by streetlight or any moon." Contained within Burns's exacting language are expressions of profound generosity and praise, but also a grave and, at times, frightening quietude. The effect is a kind of gothic pastoral. As the poems breathe and carve their path, their relics start to twitch and knock against the cabinets. -James Capozzi, author of Country Album and Devious Sentiments
