Your poems and essays redistribute the fortune of your outdoor life and establish you as the region’s most attentive biographer of wind, water, rock, time, and light – always the light. As you have journeyed through the West, an Illinois child transformed by mountains and by the dawn, your walking, watching, and writing have converged on radiance.
