In words and images, Jim and Carol McCord offer their third collection-an exploration and response to the natural worlds of the western and northeastern United States, pointing to similarities and differences, how they rhyme and how they clash. Amidst wondrous beauties, complex activities, and the resilience of nature, poet and artist guide us on how to live rightly, and they alert us to the dark ways by which the natural world is continuously threatened by our human presence.
