In this evocative collection of essays, John Meade Haines chronicles his two decades living as a homesteader in the Alaskan wilderness. Through spare, meditative prose, he reflects on the profound isolation of the subarctic landscape, the rhythms of seasonal survival, and the intellectual solitude that defined his life as a poet in the remote interior.
