Show Notes

A thought and theme from Wendell Berry, “coming into the peace of wild things.”

  • A story from the Alaskan cabin with an astonishing encounter with a large, magnificent buck.
  • Reading liner notes from a collaborative DVD project with Kurt Hoelting, ASP podcast #5.
  • “Wildness is a process and not a place.  Nothing stands alone.  The environment is inside as well as outside.  The human mind is wild habitat.  Poetry is the wild edge of language.”
  • An excerpt from ASP #4 with writer, editor, fisher-poet, Holly J. Hughes.
  • Holly reflects on our times, her recent book, Hold Fast and reads her poem, “Credo.”
