"Elemental, powerful?a piercing voice from the heartland." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Here is a book for women to read to learn the hearts of men. Here is a book for men to read to curse what they have lost?A fine example of blood-writing, every sentence alive." --Terry Tempest Williams, author of Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place "Stirring, evocative, finely nuanced, gritty-marvelous!" --Gretel Ehrlich, author of The Solace of Open Spaces It is a voice that echoes off canyon walls, springs from the rush of rivers, thunders from the hooves of horses. It belongs to award-winner Mark Spragg, and it's as passionate and umcompromising as the wilderness in which he was born: the largest block of unfenced wilderness in the lower forty-eight states.
