An Inland Seas Poetry Book

“With the observational eye of Charles Darwin and the soul of John Muir, Robert Grunst is a first-rate naturalist. He takes us on a journey of the flora and fauna of his life in the Midwest and West, from the orchards of Michigan, to the waves of Lake Superior, to the grasses of Wyoming. Grunst focuses on the small object—the smelt, the bat, the morning-glory, the peach and pickled pear—to open up the larger vistas of his landscapes. The Smallest Bird in North America flies an intricate course, carries us a long distance.”
