Requests:  0 Summary:  "In this remarkable collection, part travelogue, part cultural and personal history, poet and author Kathleen Jamie touches points on a timeline spanning millennia, and considers what surfaces and what reconnects us to our past. From the thawing tundra linking a Yup'ik village in Alaska to its hunter-gatherer past to the shifting sand dunes revealing the impressively preserved homes of neolithic farmers in Scotland, Jamie explores how the changing natural world can alter our sense of time. Most movingly, she considers, as her father dies and her children leave home, the surfacing of an older, less tethered sense of herself. In precise, luminous prose, Surfacing offers a profound sense of time passing and an antidote to all that is instant, ephemeral, unrooted" --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 824.914 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 824.914 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 824.914 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
