North Writers A Strong Woods Collection John Henricksson, Editor

Nature writing at its best-now in paperback! "Anyone interested in north-country life and literature is certain to find something of worth in North Writers." Minneapolis Star Tribune "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 "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 "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 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. Contributors: Tom Anderson, Henry Beston, Les Blacklock, Michael Dennis Browne, E.
