Driving cross-country with a cat named Rest Stop, Urrea wandered the West from one year's spring through the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHiking into aspen forests where leaves \"shiver and tinkle like bells\" and poking alongside creeks in the Rockies, he sought solace and wisdom. In the forested mountains he learned not only the names of trees--he learned how to live. As nature opened Urrea's eyes, writing opened his heart. In journal entries that sparkle with discovery, Urrea ruminates on music, poetry, and the landscape. With wonder and spontaneity, he relates tales of marmots, geese, bears, and fellow travelers. He makes readers feel mountain air \"so crisp you feel you could crunch it in your mouth\" and reminds us all to experience the magic and healing of small gestures, ordinary people, and common creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrrea has been heralded as one of the most talented writers of his generation. In poems, novels, and nonfiction, he has explored issues of family, race, language, and poverty with candor, compassion, and often astonishing power. \u003ci\u003eWandering Time\u003c\/i\u003e offers his most intimate work to date, a luminous account of his own search for healing and redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816502820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Luis Alberto Urrea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276340781237,"sku":"9780816502820","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_1a8e2cd1-de35-4562-bb65-dbc4dfe70b9a.jpg?v=1744122883","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wandering-time-western-notebooks-9780816502820","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
