About this title

Synopsis

Author Mary B. Kurtz shares the rich experiences of her Colorado agricultural life in this collection of twenty-eight lyric essays, contributing immeasurably to the great tradition of Western American literature. As if looking through the aperture of a microscope with its light-gathering qualities, Kurtz sees a clear and magnified vision of her life on a ranch and writes about its daily rhythms, the murmurings of a natural world, and the vagaries and mysteries of aging and mortality. Her stories are a manifestation of spirit, an exploration and amplification of her inner experience. She discovers her inherent instinct for survival and growth by meeting change and loss with hope and trust.

About the Author

Mary B. Kurtz's work has appeared in Amsterdam Quarterly, The Hong Kong Review, Ruminate Magazine, Braided Way, The Colorado Sun, BlueHouse Journal, Writers Workshop Review, and Speckled Trout Review. Her first collection of essays, At Home in the Elk River Valley: Reflections on Family, Place, and the West, was recognized as a 2012 Regional Nonfiction Finalist by the National Indie Excellence Book Award program. It was also the recipient of the Colorado Independent Publishers Association's 2012 Bronze EVVY Award. Kurtz received her MFA in creative writing from Regis University. She and her husband raise quarter horses, cattle, and hay on their ranch in the Elk River Valley of northwestern Colorado. --www.marybkurtz.com
