Nature writing at its best. Collected here are stories that reflect the grand and awe-inspiring landscape sweeping north and west from Lake Superior’s western shore. A delight to sample or read straight through, North Writers will bring a reader to the woods in a matter of pages. "Anyone interested in north-country life and literature is certain to find something of worth in North Writers." “It is an honor to all lovers of the canoe country that a book like North Writers exists.” —Boundary Waters Journal “There are great pleasures in this extremely well-written book.” —Fargo Forum “The book gives the reader a savory glimpse of the region and its inhabitants. All of these stories show how this powerful place has created in the authors an intense feeling for and sense of connectedness with nature.” —Minnesota Conservation Volunteer “To read these stories is to wish to head north. The musing and recollecting of these contemplative (but decidedly hardy) Minnesotans will sustain us all through the long , and after all, meaningful winter. This book is a most pleasing and appropriate gift to the state’s people from the University of Minnesota Press.” —Rochester Post Bulletin Contributors include Les Blacklock, Justine Kerfoot, William O. Douglas, Grace Lee Nute, Sigurd Olson, Heart Warrior Chosa, Peter M. Leschak, and Florence Page Jaques. John Henricksson is a freelance writer who is also the editor of North Writers II: Our Place in the Woods (1991) and author of Wild Neighborhood. 292 pages | 1991 |
