Publisher's Synopsis
Literary Nonfiction. Essays. Poetry. In THE REAL PEOPLE OF WIND AND RAIN--a remarkably wide- ranging set of essays--Andrew Schelling takes on poetry, Buddhism, baseball, ecology, and the art of translation with wit, concision, and good humor.
If Maurice Sendak hadn't gotten there first, this lovely set of notes and meditations could be called Where the Wild Things Are. It's a delight to encounter these REAL PEOPLE OF WIND AND RAIN courtesy of Andrew Schelling, traveler in time and space alike, and seasoned guide to the 'international archaic, ' that serendipitous realm where everything is 'smouldering and vulnerable.'--Jed Rasula
