Walking west of Bryson City, North Carolina, on July 1, 1976, George and Elizabeth Ellison happened upon a magical cove tucked into Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

For nearly forty years, this secluded spot has been the touchstone of their work as author and artist. These interrelated poems, narratives, renderings, notes and paintings form an artistic whole in praise of the outer and inner landscapes within which we all reside.

Seller's Description:
NEW. History Press. PAPERBACK. 2015. 9781609496852: Inveterate naturalist and student of the southern Appalachians, George Ellison returns to his roots as a poet after having complied an impressive array of prose works. As with many of these previous titles, such as Blue Ridge Nature Journal and Mountain Passages, Permanent Camp is made visually stunning by the accompanying watercolors and pen and ink washes of George's wife Elizabeth. The poems included in this collection range from crystalline haiku, to longer narrative pieces that spring from epigraphs as thoughtful responses to the works of other writers who have also roamed and loved these mountains. --Chris Wilcox.
