He describes the seasons, weather, wildlife, and the few people who do not possess but are themselves possessed by this terrain. "Galvin blends fiction and fact into a haunting story . . . (a) careful, honest, and passionate exploration. . . ".--The New York Times Book Review.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An American Library Association Notable Book</b> <p/>In discrete disclosures joined with the intricacy of a spider's web, James Galvin depicts the hundred-year history of a meadow in the arid mountains of the Colorado/Wyoming border. Galvin describes the seasons, the weather, the wildlife, and the few people who do not possess but are themselves possessed by this terrain. In so doing he reveals an experience that is part of our heritage and mythology. For Lyle, Ray, Clara, and App, the struggle to survive on an independent family ranch is a series of blameless failures and unacclaimed successes that illuminate the Western character. <i>The Meadow</i> evokes a sense of place that can be achieved only by someone who knows it intimately.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Gifted poet James Galvin blends fiction and fact into a haunting story . . .
