review 1: The best essay was the first. I'm not surprised by that sort of editing, but it does disappoint - especially when the first is more 'promising' than 'standout' on its own. I knew before going in that the author was responding to recent losses in her life, but the first essay did give hope for something more hopeful than melancholy. There are points where the author gets insight across, but you're quite likely to get a better return in your search for interesting points of view elsewhere.
review 2: This was a beautifully written, poetic collection of nature essays. The author is a philosophy professor, and I loved the philosophical rumblings of many of the essays. I am interested in finding more of her writings & now planning a trip to Mt. St. Helens. Reading w... moreas a bit slow for my - the essays are beautiful and thought-provoking, so I wanted to savor and mull over them. Recommended.The book is described as being a collection that grew from the author's grief a several people she knew passed away close to the same time. I chose to read it at this time because I had just lost a much beloved cat. However, that was really a very minor thread in the essays, and given where I was, I was kinda hoping for more. less
