When the Wild CallsTaylor Trade Publications, 2004 - Počet stran: 220 Recently anointed the master of the short outdoor essay by no less than Gray's Sporting Journal, Jack Kulpa picks up where his award-winning book True North leaves off, somewhere in the Wisconsin woods where the calling is a simple and uncomplicated thing; but like the mists of a brooding bog it can also be a riddle--cryptic deep, and filled with mystery. This new collection, drawn from work that appeared in such magazines as Field and Stream, Sports Afield, and Sporting Classics, contains thirty-two essays organized into four parts: Lakes and Streams; Forests and Fields; Tail Feathers and Backlash; and Home from the Hill. While the essays address a variety of topics, each is inspired by what the author refers to as the silent places where we have heard the wild calling. |
