Winter Creek: One Writer's Natural History - Paperback
$14.00
by John Daniel (Author)
The creek behind John Daniel's home in western Oregon disappears underground in the summer months. Using this creek as a metaphor, Daniel reflects on his own seasonal changes -- from days as a student on LSD, rock climber, logger, and railroad worker, to life as a writer attentive to the "evidence of the unseen."
Winter Creek is John Daniel's disarmingly honest story of his restless, rootless, disaffected youth, looking for meaning in drugs and an active outdoor life in the West. From time spent fishing, climbing, and making a living logging--as well as through friendships with writers including William Stafford and Wallace Stegner--Daniel developed a personal and artistic ethos based on a long view of evolution and the glory of living with one's senses and an open mind.
Daniel also speaks for the need to value small farmers and ranchers--"authentic human communities" that are as threatened as the plants and animals environmentalists strive to protect.
"[Daniel's voice is] fresh, self-reflective, and free of cant ... shows considerable originality, force, and descriptive art." -- Kirkus Reviews on John Daniel's The Trail Home
