Edizione: inscribed by the author, “for chai and mike with warm good wishes, maxine kumin”. “maxine kumin, the pulitzer prize-winning poet and critically acclaimed novelist and short story writer, permits us to look at the world from her rural perspective-to travel the seasons of a country year, to search the woods for wild mushrooms, to discover a nest of newborn herons, to watch a moose emerge from the forest at dusk. these essays, shot through with the same compassion and expressive grace that have always illuminated kumin’s writing, cast new light on events as seemingly prosaic as putting in fence posts and as transcendent as the birth of a foal.”-publisher
