Lidia Yuknatictch writes with paiful honesty. She hangs herslef out to dry, throws herself under the bus, calls herself our for the mistakes she's made and comes to some uncomfortable conclusions. This book exposes her life in raw, brutal frankness. She admits to the reader things I can only imagine took years to admit to herself. Some of it is very matter-of-fact, other pieces are more reluctant but with all if it she bravely lets us in.
She has a very lyrical style, her words move like water along the page. Yuknacitch has created a very inspiring book about the things we do to feel, love, forget, survive, and live.

This book reads like a river. It sounds like a river. It moves like a river. You takes some sections fast, others very slowly taking note of every detail.
You get to know the town of Neawanaka and residents as if they were your neighbors.
The language is beautiful and its impossible to put down. One of the best books I've ever read!

This book is written beautifully. It not only tells the author's journey into the cold, but it addresses issues about our rapidly changing climate and what happens when the icebergs start melting just a little bit faster. She explores what losing winter might mean for the entire world, from plants to animals and humans to ice.

Availability: Special Order - Subject to Availability
Published: Delphinium/Harper, 5/2010
The stories in this reader are weird, just like the citizens of the PNW. Each section gives you different authors' takes on the places they call home. It's a great, quick read whether you're a Pacific Northwesterner or a non-native wondering why everyone loves this corner of the U.S. so much!

Pablo Neruda's poems are vivid descriptions full of passion and life. In this collection, translated by Stephen Mitchell he writes pages of odes. Odes to the most unusual things: onions, a rooster, salt, ironing, even an ode to the book. Each one filled with words that paint the perfect picture. His simple but beautiful language makes the poems easy to read. Beautiful word pictures on the surface, but scratch beneath and the poems have much more meaning than one could have imagined! '
