About this title

Synopsis

When twelve writers from Washington and Oregon were asked to write about their relationship to the place they call home, the responses were as diverse and rich as the region itself. Gathered here are original works from essayists, poets and novelists who are both natives and newcomers to the northwest edge of America.

Review

A dozen original works by 12 Northwest writers are assembled in this handsomely illustrated anthology. Novelist Tom Robbins proclaims his unabashed love for the region, noting "I'm here for mushrooms that broadcast on transcendental frequencies." Native American writer Sherman Alexie describes his difficult early life in Spokane, and novelist and nature writer Brenda Peterson writes movingly of a mother beluga whale.
