"From the Great Land "
From the Great Land Alaska, the Great Land, dominates animal and human and infuses with its immensity all art, poetry and relations between people and nature with a grandeur hard to imagine for those who have not experienced its breadth. In contrast, however, poets and other inhabitants alike notice the smaller things of nature - the color of a birch leaf, rosehips, grizzlies and their cubs eating berries in the sunshine - and ask the question, "If the stars are burning, why are winter nights so cold?" |
