THE BOOK Hiraeth Press is pleased to announce the release of "Huntley Meadows: A Naturalist's Journal in Verse" by Dr. Jamie K. Reaser.
"Huntley Meadows" is a year-long account of natural history and personal exploration at a county park on the outskirts of Washington, DC. Unlike most natural history publications, however, this one is written entirely in poetic form. The voices that arise from the pages are not just those of the author, but of the animals, plant life, and weather. Occasionally an unsuspecting park visitor is heard. Dr. Donald Kennedy, President Emeritus of Stanford University, states, Jamie K. Reasers poetic account of a year in Huntley Meadows in the heart of Washington is a treasure. A top-rank scientist committed to conservation biology, Reaser turns out to be a poet able to project images of the natural world that echo reality and at the same time move the readers spirit. Read it and then go there!
