In essays with settings that range from the Wind
River Mountains of Wyoming, to the mountain town
of Leadville, Colorado, to the Pine Barrens of
New Jersey, Trudy Dittmar weaves personal
experience with diverse threads of subject matter
to create unexpected connections between human
nature and nature at large. Life stories, elegantly
combined with mindful observations of animals,
plants, landscape and the skies, theories in
natural science, environmental considerations,
and touches of art criticism and popular culture,
offer insights into the linked analogies of nature
and soul. A glacial pond teeming with salamanders
in arrested development is cause for reflection on
the limits of a life that knows only bounty. The
hot blue lights of celestial phenomena are a
metaphor for fast, flashy men.he loves of a life.
and a romantic career is interpreted. Watching a
pronghorn buck battling for, and ultimately losing,
his harem leads to a meditation on a kind of
immortality.
