Zusammenfassung: | Walt Whitman's meditation on time is the undercurrent running through Postscripts, a series of reflections on finding one's place in the endless chain of time. In linked essays, Robert Root ranges across American terrains and landscapes including locales as varied as Walden Pond and Mesa Verde, the mountains of Montana and the coastline of Maine, Great Lakes shorelines and Manhattan on the first day of the war with Iraq. Rich in "all that retrospection," Postscripts chronicles moments of intimacy and arrival in the natural world while also charting intersections of natural, cultural, and person. |

Lincoln, Nebraska : University of Nebraska Press, 2012. 1 online resource (ix, 198 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references. Online resource; title from PDF title page (OverDrive, viewed August 28, 2012). Walt Whitman's meditation on time is the undercurrent running through Postscripts, a series of reflections on finding one's place in the endless chain of time. In linked essays, Robert Root ranges across American terrains and landscapes including locales as varied as Walden Pond and Mesa Verde, the mountains of Montana and the coastline of Maine, Great Lakes shorelines and Manhattan on the first day of the war with Iraq. Rich in "all that retrospection," Postscripts chronicles moments of intimacy and arrival in the natural world while also charting intersections of natural, cultural, and person. Prologue : words in the wind (the Green Mountains, Vermont) -- To think of time (the Habitation, Nova Scotia) -- The pattern of life indelible (Belgrade Lakes, Maine) -- The everlastingly great look of the sky (Walden Pond, Massachusetts) -- Here is New York (New York, New York) -- Anasazi (the Four Corners) -- Knowing where you've been (the Bitterroot Mountains, Montana) -- Shore lines (the Great Lakes) -- Of trees and time (Warren Woods, Michigan) -- Malabar Farm (Malabar Farm State Park, Ohio) -- Terra cognita (Acadia National Park, Maine) -- Time and tide (Acadia National Park, Maine) -- Epilogue : postscript to a postscript to "the ring of time" (Sarasota, Florida).
