this coming Saturday, March 31st, at 3pm at AC Hunter Library, St. John’s, NL, with the wonderful Ronna Bloom.

A bit of dark nighttime music, made by me (st alkinghorse), in my cabin deep in the northernmost north woods of Alberta, Canada, at the fire tower I’ve worked every summer for the last nine years.

This handsome old country gentleman arrived in the mail yesterday, via helicopter, to me here at the fire tower. An 1830 edition of John Knapp’s Journal of a Naturalist. I’ve wanted a copy of this book since first finding it in a university library many years ago, even if for nothing else but the wonderful found nature poem of its index.  

Just a week into my eighth summer here at Amber Lookout Tower in northern Alberta, just shy of the Northwest Territories Border. This is already shaping up to be one of the driest and most flammable seasons on record, which means 12 hour days in the tower for me, every day, for the next four months. Let the reading begin.
