Seller's Description:
Like New. No Dustjacket. Size: 9x6x0; No Dustjacket (probably as issued). The author shares his season-by-season observations of the American prairie and its weather, wildlife, and ecology. "Gruchow writes of the glare of moonlight on snow; of the impulse to name and possess things in the natural world; of prairie phlox, garter snakes, and the dust in the air that turns the sunlight crimson...an alertness permeates this enduring book." Paul Gruchow (1947-2004) was an American author, editor, and conservationist from Montevideo, Minnesota. A student of poet John Berryman, he is well known for his strong support of rural communities, as expressed in his first book, "Journal of a Prairie Year" published by University of Minnesota Press. His essays in Grass Roots: The Universe of Home, document his ideas with stories of growing up in rural Chippewa County Minnesota. Author's first book; Signed copies rarely offered.
