Winter Creek
One Writer's Natural History
by John Daniel
Winter Creek is John Daniel's disarmingly honest story of his restless youth, looking for meaning in drugs and an active outdoor life in the West. From time spent fishing, climbing, and making a living logging--as well as through friendships with writers William Stafford and Wallace Stegner--Daniel developed a personal and artistic ethos based on a long view of evolution and the glory of living with one's senses and an open mind. Daniel also speaks for the need to value small farmers and ranchers--"authentic human communities" that are as threatened as the plants and animals environmentalists strive to protect.

Quotes:"John Daniel's voice is perfectly modulated, his judgments restrained, his sense of self dead level. This approach, together with Daniel's lyrical sensibility, makes this contour map of one writer's evolution wonderfully engaging."—Barry Lopez
