FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Funny and tender beneath a wry and gruff seen-it-all veneer, Harrison contemplates death, discerns divinity in every stone and leaf, and nobility in ordinary lives, and laughs at our attempts to separate ourselves from the rest of nature."-Booklist"His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a still-ravenous appetite for life."-The Texas ObserverNow in paperback, Jim Harrisons best-selling poetry book In Search of Small Gods is where birds and humans converse, autobiographies are fluid, and unknown gods flutter just out of sight. In terrains real and imagined-from remote canyons and anonymous thickets in the American West to secret basements in World War II Europe-Harrison calls upon readers to live fully in a world where "Death steals everything except our stories."Maybe the problem is that I got involved with the wrong crowd ofgods when I was seven. At first they werent harmful and only showedthemselves as fish, birds, especially herons and loons, turtles, a bobcatand a small bear, but not deer and rabbits who only offered themselvesas food. And maybe I spent too much time inside the water oflakes and rivers. Underwater seemed like the safest church I couldgo to . . . Jim Harrison is one of Americas most versatile and celebrated writers.
