Items related to CROSSING THE WATER: THE ALASKA-HAWAII TRILOGIES
Synopsis
Fiction. This is a unique volume in the best sense--two apparently diverse areas drawn together in 1959 politically as the 49th and 50th states of the United States. But they have been bound together by nature and history-the former for millennia, and the latter since the late 18th century. A poetic bond between both trilogies is crossing a body of water as a transformational event for human and animal alike. In the "Lost Road Trilogy," it is the ancient Charon myth; and in the "Hawaii Island Trilogy," it is of transformations in time and space, and how the two together can form illusions of spirit.
