From the moment Daniel Boone first "gained the summit of a commanding
ridge, and...beheld the ample plains, the beauteous tracts below," generations
of Kentuckians have developed rich and enduring relationships with the
land that surrounds them. Of Woods & Waters: A Kentucky Outdoors Reader
is filled with loving tributes, written across the Commonwealth's two centuries,
offered in celebration of Kentucky's widely varied environmental wonders
that nurture both life and art. Ron Ellis, an outdoors enthusiast and noted
writer, has gathered art, fiction, personal essays and poetry from many
of Kentucky's best-known authors for this comprehensive collection. The
anthology begins with famed illustrator John James Audubon's eloquent account
of extracting catfish from the Ohio River and progresses through over fifty
contributions by both established and emerging writers. Covering two hundred
years of hunting, fishing, camping, cooking, hiking, and canoeing in Kentucky's
woods and waters, these classic and original works show how writers have,
as celebrated Kentucky historian Thomas D. Clark suggests, "fallen under
the spell of the land." Of Woods & Waters does not merely recount fond
memories. Many authors presented in this collection echo the sentiments
of the award-winning novelist and essayist Barbara Kingsolver, who writes,
"Much of what I know about life, and almost everything I believe about
the way I want to live, was formed in those woods" adjacent to her birthplace
in Nicholas County, Kentucky. The works collected in Of Woods & Waters
serve to honor and defend what many recognize as a sadly declining way
of life, one born out of genuine reverence for the beauty and bounty of
nature. The contributions of Wendell Berry, Janice Holt Giles, Bobbie Ann
Mason, Jesse Stuart, James Still, Robert Penn Warren, James Baker Hall,
Silas House, and other esteemed authors examine the delicate balances that
must be struck between humanity and nature, between progress and sustainable
living. While raising these crucial questions, these writings center on
connections among friends and family in Kentucky's beautiful natural surroundings.
The authors spin tales of the whistling wings of ducks overhead, the heart-pounding
excitement of a white-tailed buck's sudden appearance, the joy of childhood
plunges into cold lake waters after hours of climbing trees, and the thrill
of watching sons and daughters catch their first fish. In these writings,
the bountiful Kentucky wilderness that first captivated frontier settlers
remains vibrantly alive.
