Description:
Graywolf Press, 2018. Hardcover. Like New/Fine . 6x0x9. Tracy K. Smith boldly ties Americaâs contemporary moment both to our nationâs fraught founding history and to a sense of the spirit, the everlasting. These are poems of sliding scale: some capture a flicker of song or memory; some collage an array of documents and voices; and some push past the known world into the haunted, the holy. Smithâs signature voiceâinquisitive, lyrical, and wryâturns over what it means to be a citizen, a mother, and an artist in a culture arbitrated by wealth, men, and violence. Here, private utterance becomes part of a larger choral arrangement as the collection widens to include erasures of The Declaration of Independence and the correspondence between slave owners, a found poem comprised of evidence of corporate pollution and accounts of near-death experiences, a sequence of letters written by African Americans enlisted in the…

Blue Rider Press, 2012. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good+. 6x1x9. Several sentences underlined, else In Very Good+ condition and Very Good+ dustjacket. For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He tells of his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled in him a love for the written word; his first brush with mortality when he contracted polio at the age of five; struggling to pay rent during his early days with the Squires; traveling the Canadian prairies in Mort, his 1948 Buick hearse; performing in a remote town as a polar bear prowled beneath the floorboards; leaving Canada on a whim in 1966 to pursue his musical dreams in the pot-filled boulevards and communal canyons of Los Angeles; the brief but influential life of Buffalo Springfield, which formed almost immediately after his arrival in California. He recounts their rapid rise to fame and ultimate break-up; going solo and overcoming…

David R. Godine Publisher, 2001. Softcover. Like New. 6x0x9. Sperry, Armstrong. Previous Owner Name. Why Armstrong Sperry, one of the more versatile and vivid authors and illustrators this country has produced, is not more appreciated staggers our imagination. His great grandfather, Sereno Armstrong, was a clipper captain, and his tales of life under sail in the South Pacific obviously captivated the Connecticut youngster, and ultimately provided the setting for his Newbery Award winner, Call It Courage. But his historical novels, all based on solid research and a strong narrative line featuring younger boys facing daunting challenges, are real page turners. This is one of his best, and despite a whiff of period chauvinism, it will really give you a sense of what a journey along the Santa Fe Trail in 1846 must have been like and how a restless America managed to wrestle much of the Southwest from Mexico and the Indians. As always, the book is illustrated with spirited drawings by the author, and…

Houghton Mifflin, 2000. Softcover. Like New. 5x0x8. We humans are a minority of giants, stumbling around in the world of little things, Sue Hubbell writes in this marvelous book. Each of these little things has a complicated and special way of getting on in the world, different from ours and different from one another's. In Waiting for Aphrodite she explores the ways of sponges and sea urchins, horseshoe crabs and the sea mouse known as Aphrodite -- as well as our ways. She takes us on a journey through the mysteries of time -- geological, biological, and personal -- as she writes of the evolution of life on this planet and the evolution of her own life: her childhood next to a Michigan graveyard; the three colleges where she learned three things; her twenty-five years keeping bees on a farm in the Ozarks; her move to a strange little house in a small Maine town, the place I wanted to grow old in. And in the tide pools and ocean waters there she discovered a whole new world, the world of little…

Description:
Conundrum Press, 2014. Trade paperback. Like New. 88x3x133. With provocative insights on every page and new language for the heady, raw experience of being alive, these poems focus their gaze on the existential dilemma of how one finds meaning in a fallen world. They locate themselves in the detritus of modern, consumer life, finding redemption and spiritual sustenance in a landscape beyond words. The poet is more than accomplished; he is simply splendid, and his work offers hope while stripping away the world's disguises, revealing the stable, comforting, agreeable ground of living in the present moment. This is nourishment for the "smoky crevices of the heart." Sigman Byrd teaches writing at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is the author of Under the Wandererâs Star, which won the Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize, and Who We Were, a chapbook of poems.

Dutton Adult, 1979. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 13x10x0. Foreword by David R. Brower. Two short tears and some edgewear to dustjacket. For more than ten years, William R. Curtsinger has specialized in photographing marine mammals. No one else in the world has produced a body of work on them anything like it. His photographs are the kind that make you wonder how in the world they were taken. Sidney Holt's introduction, drawn from his decades of experience with the politics and biology of the sea, gives the scientist's view of the so-called rational exploitation of living marine resources, and concludes that "the state of the art of assessing the state of the whale consists of some hard data, soft theory, a little knowledge, and a heap of speculation." Wake Of The Whale has the power, we hope, to prevent a wake for the whale, for other cetaceans, and for their distant relatives, including ourselves. A classic work in the field.

Simon & Schuster, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. Like New/Fine. 6x1x9. Dustjacket price clipped. From catfishing as a young girl in the lazy, red clay waters of the South to battling marlin in the Caribbean, Lorian Hemingway has had a passion for fishing all her life. It was a passion that would sustain her even as the burden of a broken family and her own alcoholism threatened to consume her. Walk on Water is her poignant and powerful memoir about loss, recovery, coping with the family you are born into, and making a family of your own. But above all it is an homage to fishing -- its ability to bind people, to challenge, and ultimately, to heal. Hemingway is one of 12 grandchildren of American novelist and Nobel Prize-laureate Ernest Hemingway.
