Dawn Light : Dancing with Cranes and Other Ways to Start the Day
Author(s): Diane Ackerman
In an eye-opening sequence of personal meditations through the cycle of seasons, a celebrated storyteller-poet-naturalist awakens us to the world at dawn. Diane Ackerman draws from sources as diverse as meteorology, world religion, etymology, art history and poetry in order to celebrate that moment in which the deepest arcades of life and matter become visible. Dawn Light is an impassioned call to revel in our numbered days on a turning earth.
