Seeing the Raven A Narrative of Renewal Peter M. Leschak |
|
|
Witty and reflective author Leschak recreates his experience of the northern Minnesota landscape. Blending contemporary science and keen firsthand observation, Leschak's narrative encompasses a wide range of topics and experiences—fly fishing and wildland firefighting, backyard astronomy and ecology, chain saws and ice skates, turtles and timberwolves. Its moments of pathos and joy unfold against the forbidding and beautiful landscape of northeastern Minnesota, as the author confronts questions that transcend the particulars of his experience. At once humorous and philosophical, rich with anecdotes and allusions, this is a book about death and renewal and a search for meaning along nature's myriad byways. Peter M. Leschak is a freelance writer who lives in northeastern Minnesota. His books include Letters from Side Lake (1992), The Snow Lotus (1996), and Trials by Wildfire (2000). 192 pages | 1994 |
