Alison Hawthorne Deming is a brilliant writer whose work often serves as an inspiration for my own. Her prose is beyond reproach, but I give it four and not five stars because the book as a whole fell short of my expectations. For one, I expected it to be a bit more focused on the "writing" piece. I'd mistakenly put it on my bookshelf with my craft books when it clearly belongs with environmental writing. Of course, she does discuss how the four places she takes us to in each chapter influence her craft, but that piece of it seemed to arise not as the purpose of her stories but more out of the fact that she is a writer writing about her life so the writing part of her life will naturally come up. There's also just very little to the book itself. There are 140 pages in the volume, but AHD's words take up fewer than 90. I haven't read other books in the Credo series, but I assume the others are similar. My critique, then, is less of the author and more of the publisher. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Descended from the great American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, Alison Deming appropriately begins this philosophical autobiography along the shores of the North Atlantic -- on Grand Manan Island, in the Bay of Fundy. Moving on to Provincetown, Massachusetts, and then to Tucson, Arizona, and Paomoho, Hawaii, Deming describes places that are dear to her because their ways are still shaped by terms nature has set, though less and less so.With vivid ideas and passion, Deming writes about the importance of nature writing for these peripatetic times. Because people's lives are materially less connected to the natural world, they are also spiritually less connected. Through the arts -- through the story of the captain whose boat honors the Kwakiutl Wild Woman of the Woods or the fisherman who sacrifices his catch to save two whales -- people fall again into harmony with place and each other; they write the sacred into the real.
