    <![CDATA[<p>In the wilds of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Robert Corvus Strang is crawling through the woods. A beautiful Costa Rican woman is dancing in a string bikini, and a dissipated writer is trying to stay on his feet....All three have retreated to this isolated land -- where Strang, builder of dams and bridges, preacher of gospels, lover of women, explorer of limits, launches into the story of his monumental life. In a novel that stretches from Michigan to Africa and the Amazon, Strang leads his listeners across rivers of time, through the nature of innocence, politics and desire, to a final and stunning defiance of life's frailty.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Russell Chatham's landscapes are inhabited by moving light and shadow, sun-blasted hills and soft rivers, looming mountains and melancholy trees. He belongs to no current movement, lives far from the bicoastal art world, and his paintings consequently defy easy description. This volume, published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of the Rockies, includes Chatham's early oils from Northern California as well as the Montana paintings that have brought him national acclaim.]]>

    <![CDATA[Around here, we call it The Project.Outside the offices of Big Sky Journal, it is called &quot;a magazine.&quot;But wht it is, really, is a collection of voices, a choir of the uncommon, trying to define itself through a place that is larger than any of us.The magazine is a convenient package of delivery, a reflector, providing the best of the place in the form of essay, image, art and fiction.A lot of good stuff blows through this joint, and some of it sticks between the covers.What we have here is the nearly impossible reduction of several years and several thousand pages into a lucid collection of those voices. The idea for Big Sky Journal crossed my mind several years before I was able to escape the demands of an existing career to move the concept toward reality.By 1992, I was able to ask David McCumber, then the talented editor of a Santa Barbara newspaper, if he would help give the magazine its launch.With the confused excitement of a new project, Big Sky Journal punched a hole in the sky, bound for who knows where. For the past few years, the magazine has enjoyed the award-winning editorship of Allen Jones, in whose hands the reigns still lay.Without such hands, there would be, as they say, no ink, no paper.And no anthology.Pleasantly, we have found that there are still a surprising number of serious readers at large.Just when we might think the entire planet has abandoned the printed word for the sirens of the internet and video store, Big Sky Journal continues to grow and evolve. So what is this collection about?To some measure, each of us has that somewhat odd impulse to try and save the unsavable, to freeze the moment: the prom photo; the yearbook; the Christmas video.Some people collect stamps, we collect stories.... But unlike some collectors, we think we might have an idea why we collect these essays, articles and fiction pieces: they make us feel happy and smart and put us in touch with a place that interests us.They make us respond in a way we can trust.Wallace Stegner said it best: &quot;....the smell of distance....the largeness and clarity take the scales from my eyes, and I respond as unthinkingly as a salmon that swims past a rivermouth and tastes the waters of its birth.&quot; Describing the moment and making it happen are two different things.The pieces in this collection are easy to read.They are hard to write.Ask the best of them: there is nothing automatic about a well-focussed piece of writing, especially when one is wrestling with a subject as vast as the West.It's had to get your arms around it.Describing his short story Big Two-Hearted River in a 1924 letter to Edward O'Brien, even Hemingway admitted the difficulty in delivering a place to the reader.&quot;What I've been doing is trying to do country so you don't remember the words after you read it but actually have Country.It is hard because to do it you have to see the country all complete all the time you write and not just have a romantic feeling about it.&quot; If we have done our job, you will have Country, and, even if it's only for a moment, we will have saved something.To those writers who have so bravely given us their personal reflection of this amazing place, we offer humble thanks.]]>

    <![CDATA[These poems offer an insightful examination of the human psyche's longing for the kind of intimacy which is so often elusive. And we are introduced to Raven, a symbolic alter ego who is humankind's dark witness, whose home is the sky, and whose gift is charity.    This work was completed with a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council. The literary magazine Prairie Schooner, bestowed upon this oeuvre its Edward Stanley Award for Poetry.]]>
