Through High Still Air: A Season at Sourdough Mountain

Poetry. Poet Tim McNulty served as lookout in Washington's North Cascades during the fire season of 2003. These poems and journal entries evoke the wild beauty and solitude he experienced during his time among the peaks. "Smoke from wildfires fills the valleys, / and a high veil of cirrus / dampens the morning sun. / Then a gift from Costa Rican forests, / Townsend's warbler, drops by."--From Tropical Sunlight.
