"We thought we knew what we wanted, when we dreamed our life. Farm, wilderness, side by side. The tamed, the wild. We wanted to hold the earth in our hands and make it work for us; we wanted to know, first-hand, the power that moves the stars.

When you live in the constant presence of what isn't tame, and you expect the unexpected---a moose trotting down the driveway at dusk, a fox in the goldenrod, a bear with her cubs browsing at the edge of the field---you discover the complexity of your own place in creation. You feel like someone on the outside, looking in. A coyote's eyes can annihilate." Beth Powning

Home, Chronicle of a North Country Life   published by Stewart, Tabori, and Chang, 575 Broadway, New York, NY 10012.

This is a wonderful book full of quiet reflection, sensuous prose and stunning photographs. It offers a counterpoint to the chaos and ugliness of modern culture, a thread that affirms others are out there too.
