Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Camping in the Galaxy is a collection of haibun - compact prose pieces accompanied by haiku - and well-crafted essays that celebrate the natural world without turning a blind eye to the ravages of human impact. Helen Ruggieri cultivates a sense of place as she recounts life in the Allegheny bioregion of Western New York, both past and present, as well as her childhood in Pennsylvania coal country. She writes about Native Americans, deer, groundhogs, wild grasses, Zen gardens, small town life, river walking, maple trees, sunsets, the seasons and much more, occasionally dipping into folklore and mythology.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Blue Elegies begins with an homage of sorts to the White Crane Kung Fu School of Martial Arts where Helen Ruggieri studied for 15 years.

Later sections celebrate common birds of the east--hummingbirds, cardinals, crows, owls, sparrows, etc. and the last section focuses on humans who demonstrate aspects of a bird. For example, they may sing like a bird, fly like a bird, and more. We go about our ordinary lives, unnoticed, as the birds ignore or tolerate us. Sometimes birds live in and off our discards deposited in Walmart parking lots and other desolate portions of human habitats. It's sad to see that bird numbers and the annual bird counts have noted their vanishing.…
