A propos de cet article

An association copy: One of 10 deluxe copies in full maroon leather and numbered I-X of a total of seventy-five copies. Signed by Keith Abbott, who writes the five-page introduction, on the colophon which is numbered VI. Housed in a custom maroon leather clamshell box with a plate on the inside that reads "This copy given to Russ Chatham in memory of his friend Richard Brautigan by Rod King and Vincenne Buonpane, March 2002." The plate is signed by both of the gift-givers, "Rod" and "Vincenne." Chatham was indeed a good friend of Brautigan. He spent the majority of his career outside of Livingston, MT, and recruited/inspired others in the "Montana Gang" to the area including Brautigan, Thomas McGuane, and another good friend Jim Harrison, who used Chatham's paintings on the covers of most of his books. Chatham was extraordinarily successful at the height of his career (his largest paintings sold for $1 million to celebrities), and his paintings remain iconic images of the Montana landscape and perhaps the Interior West at large. See this great and wandering tribute from Rick Bassin Angler's Journal. Chatham was also a talented writer, best known for his iconic workThe Angler's Coast, and he was the publisher of Clark City Press, which published more than three dozen books including some of his own as well as books by Jim Harrison, Rick Bass, and others. Brautigan wrote these poems before the age of 21 and left them in 1955 with Edna Webster, the mother of his friend and first "real" girlfriend, in Eugene as he moved to San Francisco, a transition that would lead to his great fame. This limited edition was published the same year as the first trade edition, a Mariner paperback. A near fine copy with a shallow one-inch, narrow impression on the cover and slight bowing to the front board. Lacking a broadside it was issued with. The clamshell is near fine with some minor streaks of rubbing to the ribbed spine. A tender association copy.…

Description de la boutique

Visit us at www.ruralhours.com. Rural Hours (formerly Wood River Books) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature and science writing, the environment, ecopoetics, contemporary essay, and literary journalism, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. Our name is an homage to Susan Fenimore Cooper's book Rural Hours (1850), considered the first work of environmental nonfiction by an American woman. The daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, Susan Cooper was also an accomplished watercolorist, and her birds from Rural Hours populate these pages. Her rendering of a "chimney swallow" (now known as a swift) serves as our logo and mascot: sleek and elevated, part sky and part city street. Rural Hours is mainly a project of writer and teacher Nick Neely. Along with a pair of MFA degrees in nonfiction and poetry, Nick has a Master's in Literature and Environment from the University of Nevada, Reno. He has much expertise and years of experience in the field of eco-writing. His first book, Coast Range, was a finalist for John Burroughs Medal for nature writing and his second book, Alta California--about a 12-week trek he made along the California coast--was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Check out the "Rambles" page for eventual short essays from him on environmental lit, new books, and more. Rural Hours is a young venture, but we aspire to be among the leaders in the field of rare and interesting eco-writing. We believe, emphatically, that environmental literature and its preservation is in the service of the preservation of the world. In addition to helping serious collectors and institutions build their libraries and archives, our goal is to curate a substantial "house collection" of environmental writing for public display on this site and beyond, one that shows the evolution of the genre(s). That will be a perennial work in progress. We hope to draw a deep, explorable map of environmental writing that traces the lineage and connections between authors and artists determined to render and protect the earth, locally and globally. At the same time, we would like to challenge the usual contours of the "environmental literature" canon and promote a more diverse and inclusive array of voices; in that way, our longterm goal is to excavate the past and curate toward the future. Rural Hours also hopes to eventually have an open shop and gallery space, but for now we are only online. You've come to the right the place. Enjoy poking around, and then head out for a walk.…
