Living on Glacial Time and NAR

Check out the feature about my trip to the almost-glacier in the current books/essays issue of High Country News.

http://www.hcn.org/issues/41.16/living-on-glacial-time

The process of writing/editing the piece with the help of HCN editor Jodi Peterson was wicked fast by the literary publishing standards (truly glacier-paced) I'm used to, and utterly enjoyable.

Speaking of literary publishing: I also have an essay ("Caucus") in the current issue of the venerable journal North American Review. Only problem is, it's apparently too venerable to have an active website. So, again, I hope anybody who's interested can chase down a hard copy.

The blue September sky in Stehekin is to die for. If I get my work done today -- hell, even if I don't -- I'm going windsurfing on the lake.

Hi there most venerable writer. I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I have fallen behind on my reading of writings from the great Northwest. And I'm not much more tech savvy than I was when I left Stehekin. But I'm back trying to get me some edumacation now and they highly encourage the use of these here computing machines. Even in Kentucky. I miss you and your writing and Laurie and that quaint little mountain town. Please email me and I'll write back this time...promise (happybird1200@gmail.com). Hugs all around. Chad

Hi, Ana Maria,

Paula told me about your recent HCN piece so I tracked it down - such crisp, colorful storytelling with a fresh perspective on climate change. I'm equally pleased to find your blog and learn about your other articles and books. Congratulations on such fine progress. You are a terrific role model!

I've started my own blog (http://hoosiermuse.wordpress.com/), though lately most of my writing supports my job with Evergreen (http:/sustainableprisons.org). If you're ever in Olympia, look me up. Most weekends, I head home to the North Cascades, but otherwise I'm here.

Again, congrats on the writing life. Keep in touch.

Jeff Muse
