Synopsis:
An American Library Association Notable Book
In discrete disclosures joined with the intricacy of a spider''s web, James Galvin depicts the hundred-year history of a meadow in the arid mountains of the Colorado/Wyoming border. Galvin describes the seasons, the weather, the wildlife, and the few people who do not possess but are themselves possessed by this terrain. In so doing he reveals an experience that is part of our heritage and mythology. For Lyle, Ray, Clara, and App, the struggle to survive on an independent family ranch is a series of blameless failures and unacclaimed successes that illuminate the Western character. The Meadow evokes a sense of place that can be achieved only by someone who knows it intimately.
About the Author: A beloved poet, celebrated nonfiction writer and novelist, James Galvin is the author of The Meadow. He teaches at the University of Iowa and divides his time between Iowa City and Tie Siding, Wyoming.
