Just step outside. Look. Listen."</p><p>- <strong>Gwen Florio</strong>, author of <em>Reservations</em>, <em>Under the Shadows</em>, and <em>Silent Hearts</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>"</em>There is humor in these pages, and wisdom, a seeker's curiosity, and a Zen master's quiet exuberance. From the beauty of the natural world to the people he meets in the street, La Tray records the fleeting thoughts and common glorious everyday moments that so easily slip by."</p><p>- <strong>Charles Finn</strong>, editor of <em>High Desert Journal</em>; author of <em>Wild Delicate Seconds: 29 Wildlife Encounters</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Chris traffics in irony and earnestness with the same unencumbered rawness, and the result is an honest and complex tour of the world as he experiences it. His work is populated with owls, ravens, coyotes, juncos, and dogs - for whom he holds the highest respect - as well as a handful of flawed, vexing, and occasionally lovable humans."</p><p>- <strong>Melissa Mylchreest</strong>, author of <em>Reckon</em> and <em>Waking the Bones</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Chris La Tray's One-Sentence Journal achieves the difficult task of creating a narrative out of snapshots. La Tray's observations of the world around him not only take us into his world, but provide unique insights into our world. This book is proof of the power of language, even at its most spare."</p><p>- Russell Rowland, author of Fifty-Six Counties; High and Inside; In Open Spaces; Arbuckle </p><p><br></p><p>"Chris LaTray is the real deal - authentic, with a heart as wide as the big skies of Montana. It's a joy to slip into his life for a time - listening with him to the whispers of nature, to the chatter of waitresses, to a homeless guy late at night on Higgins Avenue. No matter who you are or where you come from, Chris La Tray is company you should keep."</p><p>- Gary Ferguson, author of The Carry Home, Hawks Rest: A Season in the Remote Heart of Yellowstone, and Through the Woods: A Journey Through America's Forests</p><p><br></p><p>"Reading Chris La Tray's One-Sentence Journal I find myself wishing all kinds of things: that I went for more walks in the woods, that I spent more time in the company of owls, that I ate more fried chicken, that I woke each day in time to watch the sunrise. For this is a sunrise book, a book of revelations, of creekwalks and roadfood and ordinary sadnesses, ordinary joys-which are, in the end, the only kind. 'I have a stake in this, ' La Tray writes. And so do you. So do you."</p><p>- Joe Wilkins, author of The Mountain and the Fathers, When We Were Birds, and Notes from the Journey Westward</p><p><br></p><p>"La Tray's writing reflects what others of us, like him, feel as we try to live as close as we can to the natural world, yet realize that it is nearly impossible to sever those connections with the society of men. His words summarize the feelings of us who sympathize with this dilemma. He is a perimeter man, seeing the reality in wildness yet dealing the best he can in reconciling truth in nature with our lives among those who do not see, what us on the perimeter see. His "word-smithing" shows truth can be found in simplicity and not always in long diatribes." </p><p>- Barry Babcock, author of Teachers in the Forest</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Chris La Tray, an enrolled member of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, is a writer and photographer who lives just outside Missoula, Montana. His work has appeared in various magazines, collections and anthologies.</p><p>It has been suggested that, because of the nature of his work, Chris La Tray must smell like Yukon gold dust, spruce tips, and cedar waxwings. He hopes it's true.</p><p>His book, Becoming Little Shell, will be released by Milkweed Editions in 2022.</p>
