Summary
From the vast grandeur of the Great Plains to the dark solitude of the Minnesota woods, from the fierce intensity of a sudden summer storm to the quiet redemption of a blanket of snow, Kent Nerburn pays homage to the land that has shaped the lives and cultures of people living in America's northern reaches. Nerburn's essays range broadly from personal narratives of the author's experiences among the Ojibwe to dark meditations on uncompromising winters to mystical celebrations of water and light.
