Up next. I hope it's a feel good book.

Tamra I just heard an MPR story that referenced Sigurd Olson. 😁 6d
Blueberry @Tamra Interesting. I'll try to look it up. 6d
Tamra It was in reference to MN nature observer writer Helen Hoover. New NF is out about Helen. https://northshorejournal.co/news/author-david-hakensen-on-the-life-of-helen-hoo... 6d

#CharacterCharm Day 29: I have been reading more of the works of #Poet Mary Oliver now that I have quit social media (Facebook, X, Instagram) over the past months. Poetry seems infinitely better for the soul.

Eggs Agreed 👍🏼 1mo

I accidentally used a Everand credit on this when I meant to grab Yukon Alone. After a half hour of confusion about the book being about King Salmon and not an adventure race I figured it out and found the book very interesting. King salmon run along the Yukon River but like many other species are suffering with climate change and overfishing. The author takes a canoe trip to talk to the people who live along the river and see the salmon.

This week I‘ve had the opportunity to visit a cousin who‘s been teaching in a dual language village school in Alaska for several years. She shared the essay “In Quinhagak” from this book. It details the writer‘s visit to a village where an archaeological dig is working to preserve a 500 year old village in the same area of Alaska before it‘s washed away by the sea. It was fascinating to read and see details similar to the village where she lives.

jitteryjane724 How wonderful that you could visit! What a cool experience. 4mo

Memoirs aren't always my favorite, but this one was a hit for me on so many levels: I loved the nature and ecology, the exploration of family and belonging and connection to place, defying expectations in a quiet way. I was surprised to learn that Lanham wasn't an experienced writer before this because his prose flows so well, and he does such a great job conveying emotion without becoming sappy (as many memoirs do). Loved this one!

It's nothing like Lanham's Home Place, but it's my Home Place (or one of them), and I love it when it's like this. Reading about Lanham's home and family in all of their complexity while planning a trip to visit my family of origin (and a couple of alternate-dimension homes) has me reflecting about how much I love being from so many places---even as I kind of crave some roots. The mid-life crisis just goes on and on, it seems.

BarbaraBB This home of yours looks wonderful and I hope you‘ll find loving homes wherever your midlife journey takes you ❤️ 5mo
