This is the third and final book in Jim Hunter's trilogy following Messages From Raven 1988, which won national honors, and Messages From the Bombing Range, 2002 which also gained wide attention. "Less frequently", as one critic put it, "comes a poet who moves across the Earthly landscape with giant strides, his insights into the human condition hurled like thunderbolts one minute, and whispered gently into our ears the next." Hunter is one of those. As in his earlier books Hunter takes his readers not just into the wildest and most dangerous of Alaska's northern places, but also into the wilds of their own hearts. Places which they may not have intended to visit, but in this book may joy in discovering! It will prove an exciting journey, for those willing to embark upon it; to read what messages in this century the mountains, via Jim Hunter's keen and dedicated eye, are so clearly sending us.
