<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Named a "Top Ten Bestseller" by the Poetry Foundation and "highly recommended" in <i>Library Journal</i>'s starred review. Now in paperback.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Funny and tender beneath a wry and gruff seen-it-all veneer, Harrison contemplates death, discerns divinity in every stone and leaf, and nobility in ordinary lives, and laughs at our attempts to separate ourselves from the rest of nature.--<i>Booklist</i></p><p>His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a still-ravenous appetite for life.--<i>The Texas Observer</i></p><p>Now in paperback, Jim Harrison's best-selling poetry book <i>In Search of Small Gods</i> is where birds and humans converse, autobiographies are fluid, and unknown gods flutter just out of sight. In terrains real and imagined--from remote canyons and anonymous thickets in the American West to secret basements in World War II Europe--Harrison calls upon readers to live fully in a world where Death steals everything except our stories.</p><p><i>Maybe the problem is that I got involved with the wrong crowd of<br>gods when I was seven. At first they weren't harmful and only showed<br>themselves as fish, birds, especially herons and loons, turtles, a bobcat<br>and a small bear, but not deer and rabbits who only offered themselves<br>as food. And maybe I spent too much time inside the water of<br>lakes and rivers. Underwater seemed like the safest church I could<br>go to . . . </i></p><p><b>Jim Harrison</b> is one of America's most versatile and celebrated writers.
