Many people who spend much time in the wild places of the world find themselves trying to capture it in some way ... some way to bring it back home and hold it close. David Cone has chosen to hold his memories of forty-five years of wilderness travel through poetry. So if you are at home set a fire in the fireplace, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy. You'll probably find some of your wilderness experiences in these poems. Some will bring a chuckle. Some may require a hanky. Overriding all else, these poems reveal a man who has a true and abiding love of nature.
