Synopsis

Starting in 1995 and for eight year Miriam Sanders wrote a weekly nature column for The Woodstock Journal, co-founded by the poet and musician Ed Sanders. With uncanny powers of direct observation, woven into a skein of luminous insights, she gives us a resonant field within which we may more than glimpse the web of creation. "Treasures" indeed, an enduring portrait of the natural world this book touches Catskills magic--bobcats, mallards and "Eric perched on a branch, enjoying a nut, his lovely tail curved over his back." The poet, writer, and historian Peter Lamborn Wilson writes, "Back in the Dark Ages when I lived in the Lower East Side I used to go to the Gem Spa on 8th Street every week to pick up Ed and Miriam Sanders's Woodstock newspaper, then take it to Tompkins Square and sit under a tree and read Miriam's nature column and dream that I was in the country with her birds and deer. Now at last her charming essays return--and I live in the Hudson Valley. Hurrah!" Woodland Treasures includes over twenty-five, hand-drawn illustrations from the author.
