The Place Within – Portraits of the American Landscape by 20 Contemporary Writers

Autor Jodi Daynard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 1999
These writers, in voices ranging from the lyrical to the meditative, awaken or allow us to discover anew a feeling for what we call America in all its many faces. Here you'll find the American spirit in Phillip Lopate's gridlocked "Manhattan," in Richard Rodriguez's gay San Francisco, and in Gerald Early's uneasily "integrated" St. Louis. In her moving essay on South Dakota, Kathleen Norris reflects on the way objects change our experience of space. Gretel Ehrlich's essay on Wyoming is also about a cure for human grief. As a whole, these intimate portraits celebrate a sense of place, rural and urban, gritty and placid; and they show how landscape transforms us, becomes a place within.

Descriere

These portraits about America's places in the country's diverse landscape range from the humming-bird of Montana to the neon lights of Times Square. They share a common desire: to explore both the sensual and the spiritual connections we have to places and the creativity they inspire.
