The White Horse: A Columbian Journey By Diane Thiel
"What a beautiful book. I knew it was going to be poetic, but I was knocked over twice by its compelling narrative drive and quiet sense of humor." --Sherman Alexie. From the white horse appearing like an apparition to the massive skeleton of a whale on the coast, Diane Thiel's The White Horse: A Columbian Journey takes us on a magically real journey into the Pacific Coast rain forest of Colombia. Equal parts travel narrative, ecological essay, history, and memoir, this book allows us to experience a reality stranger than fiction. Thiel's writing beckons us deeper into the heart of the forest, reawakens our consciousness about the natural world, and evokes the spirit of adventure. Diane Thiel is author of Echolocations and Writing Your Rhythm: Using Nature, Culture, Form and Myth, and Resistance Fantasies (all Story Line Press). She is on the creative writing faculty at the University of New Mexico. paperback/192 pp/ISBN: 0-9718228-9-1/$19.95 |
