Item Description
The essays in Secrets of the Universe move outward--from family to community to the larger natural world--as the author records a personal and multifaceted "effort to come fully awake, to understand where I actually live."
"Reasons of the Body" examines the delicious games and grueling contests played by fathers and sons through sports, while "Looking at Women" records the confusion that many men now feel as they move toward a new relationship with women. In "Living Souls," Sanders visits a Soviet Union in upheaval and learns something of what it means to dwell in history. Writing on landscape, from the farms of the Midwest to the sands of Cape Cod, the author ponders what it means, in our nomadic age, to belong to a particular place, to be rooted in the land. Reflecting on yard ornaments, road signs, the graffiti painted in alleys, the food served in cafes, Sanders probes the culture we share as Americans. "Speaking a Word for Nature" offers a manifesto for a new literature inspired by ecological wisdom.
