Travel. Anthology of Prose and Poetry. Eclectic collection of work from twentyfour writers who have lived in or been associated with the Wine Courtry in Northern California. Beginning with a retelling of a Wappo creation story by Joe McCloud and continuing with work by Robert Louis Stevenson, Ambrose Bierce and Jack London, it takes the reader up to work by David Bromige, John McPhee, Jane Hirshfield and Ursula Le Guin. A perfect present either for yourself or for someone else. We live in wine country / We have developed corkscrew skills. / We wipe the inside necks of bottles / Improvise a vocabulary // Upon obdurate cliches / We've squinted on labels (David Bromige, Wine Country ).
