Four Seasons in the Sierra: Nature Poems for the Mountain Wanderer

Four Seasons in the Sierra, Nature Poems for the Mountain Wanderer, takes the reader on a seasonal journey to the High Sierra of Northern California through poetry. Each season starts with a beautiful watercolor landscape painting of the area, done by Claire Lawrenson. Whether observing a bird in great detail, or gazing at the setting sun on the mountains, this book of poetry will bring you into the serene, magical world of the Lost Sierra. This poetry book is intended as a trail guide, a companion on picnics or during times of solitude. Bring it along next time you are backpacking, fire tower climbing, rock jumping into lakes (don't forget to leave the book on shore), or the author's personal favorite, full moon hiking--where many of these poems have been recited by the rising moon and been received with the kindness of women whose hearts have been softened by wine and ferocious howling.
