This volume contains 26 pieces by essayists, novelists, and poets. The new interest in the spirituality of place revolves around the practice of immersing ourselves in a milieu and experiencing its intimacies. In this fine collection, Donald Hall savors rural New Hampshire property handed down through his family; W. S. Merwin gardens all year round in his home in Hawaii; a beach in Puget Sound holds Brenda Peterson's soul and psyche in rapt attention; and John Daniel in Eugene, Oregon, steeps himself in a place known for its space and stillness. This exquisite paperback is an enchanting read.
