For Schmidt this part of earth is a place of confluence between the past and the present, where wounds can finally be brought into the light. As a former nurse, Schmidt finds the healing trail to Wolverine Creek, and a new way of touching and writing about the earth. Schmidt uses the deep reserves of language to explore the nuances of feeling, and the nature of the passage of time, in a way that calls upon the full attention of our hearts and minds. This wonderful book is both celebration and eulogy, a way to feel the pain of the land and remain hopeful for the seasons ahead.
