Under the Rain - Rebecca Morrison - Bog

Following her collections of poems about Alaska and Arizona and her "Celtic Epic," Rebecca Morrison now brings us her reflections on nature in Northern California. Spanning a period of 20 years, these poems range west from the Pacific Ocean to the Eastern Sierra, from Mount Shasta and Medicine Lake on the northern California border, south to Mount Diablo rising up in the middle of the 600-mile long great California Central Valley. Juxtaposed against a handful of poems about other stunning landscapes such as the Serengeti and the Alps, Morrison gives us an insider's tour of this country that has inspired generations of nature lovers such as Mark Twain, John Muir, Jack London, Ansel Adams, and Gary Snyder.
