Opis

This poetic journal, the author's second, reflects the life and views of a man influenced by a pioneer heritage and tempered by drought and depression in 1930's Nebraska.

The realities of prairie life are here...catching glimpses of pioneer life which pre-date the author's birth, living in a sod house with amenities dating back 100 years, experiencing folk remedies, learning about the birds and the bees, carrying a club to assure the right of passage, and finding respite from harsh winters on the prairie.

We also hear the voices of the wind, wonder about an ancient murder, share the migratory path of the indigenous people, survive the reign of Mount St. Helens, share a blind man's vision, consider government by editorial, hear the repetitive voices of war, and momentarily relive some of the joys and tragedies of life.

These are the reflections of life yesterday and today, moments captured and preserved.
