<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>An exploration of the connection between personal history and natural history</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In <i><b>The Walk</b></i>, William deBuys writes about personal loss and the power of the landscape to nurture the recovery of hope. The book consists of three interrelated essays that move from a period of strife in the author's life to a kind of limbo and eventually to a place of peace. The setting is deBuys' small farm in New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Each morning, he takes the same walk through the woods, arriving, as he describes in the first essay, at a clarity that comes from looking at the same vantage point for years. The middle essay, "Geranium," takes its name from a mare deBuys had to put down, and whose remains become one with the forest. In the final essay, deBuys reflects on drought, the loss of a friend, and the resurgence of land and hope. Contemplative, compassionate, and quietly humorous, <i>The Walk</i> is nature writing at its finest.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"DeBuys' pensive and quiet book offers a way out of despair and toward hope." -- <b><i>San Francisco Chronicle</b></i> <p/>William deBuys' extended prose-poetic, meditative ramble through the fields and woods of his northern New Mexico home is a rare work of such quiet, lyrical beauty that it needs to be savored."-- <i><b>Albuquerque Journal</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>William deBuys</b> is a writer and conservationist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
