Please join us in welcoming Marybeth Holleman, Alvin Amason, Don Rearden, Martha Amore, Shehla Anjum, David McElroy, Susanna Mischler and other contributors of the The Alaska Literary Field Guide on Saturday, May 2nd from 1:30-3pm.
Alaska Literary Field Guide by @MountaineersBooks is a vibrant and immersive celebration of Alaska’s wild beauty, blending science, storytelling, and stunning artwork.
“Like Alaska, this book contains multitudes. Keep it by your desk as a tool for both reference and inspiration. By turns coolly scientific and ardently rhapsodic, these sharply focused portraits of Alaska animals, plants, and landforms keep us attentive to what is timeless and what is urgently at risk in our time.” —Tom Kizzia, author of Pilgrim’s Wilderness
“The bountiful abundance of this wild collection is artfully packed for a bush plane flight through head and heart. Feel your way through this guide—and learn to love Alaska as much as I do.”—J. Drew Lanham, author of The Home Place
“Alaska Literary Field Guide has described the indescribable: through poems, prose, and art, the sprawling beauty of Alaska settles onto the page like a woodstove’s warmth on a frigid fall morning. Brew some coffee, get a copy, settle in.”—Hank Lentfer, author of Raven’s Witness and Faith of Cranes
“Many ways of knowing coalesce in this essential collection. Alaska Literary Field Guide provides a full-spectrum, interrelated engagement of head and heart that truly honors the marvel of the living place we call Alaska.” —Derek Sheffield, Washington State Poet Laureate and co-author of Cascadia Field Guide
Come on down Saturday, May 2nd and join us in celebrating!
