A propos de cet article

An association copy, and a nice pairing. The book is inscribed artfully on the title page, incorporating the printed title: "For Larry, [Summer] from [Snow] to the wind and time. Robert Hass." Uncommon signed (no other copies available as of this writing), perhaps in light of the pandemic. The recipient is poet and printer Larry Rafferty, and included also is a signed broadside featuring Hass's poem "Stanzas for a Sierra Morning"--the fourth poem in the collection and featured in full on the book jacket's rear--which Rafferty printed via his hit & run press. This is one of 25 signed copies. Rafferty and Hass grew to know each other at the Community of Writers annual conference in the Olympic Valley (formerly Squaw Valley) near Lake Tahoe, and this poem almost certainly was born there. Hass is one of our most respected contemporary poets. He won the trifecta--the Pulitzer, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award--for Time and Materials, and previously served as the US Poet Laureate. The book is fine in a fine jacket. The broadside is fine on stiff white paper (Magnani Pescia) with one uncut edge and a magenta fireweed illustration by Stephanie Sanchez. An uncommon inscribed copy and a broadside fit to be hung on the wall as a conversation piece that will point you back to the shelves.…

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.…
