Emily Hiestand
Jacket Description/Back: 'A dazzling different kind of travel book... It is a rare experience to share the very rich and thoughtful hours of Emily Hiestand.'--Washington Post -- 'If one must travel, one should do it with the eyes of a child, the mind of an ecologist, the heart of a pagan, and the words of a poet. Astonishingly, Emily Hiestand has all of that.'--Kirkpatrick Sale, author of The Conquest of ParadiseReview Quotes: The exquisite prose and erudition displayed in these essays by National Poetry Series Award winning poet Hiestand may awe some readers as she brilliantly portrays four very different, far-flung localities. Their geology, history, and people are animated by an artist's vision, a naturalist's curiosity and an intellectual disposition. --"Publishers Weekly"Publisher Marketing: The author describes her travels to Belize, Greece, the Everglades, and the Orkney Islands, sharing her observations on the human history of the regions and the diverse landscapes of the world.
