Servid, Carolyn Of Landscape and Longing: Finding a Home at the Water's Edge
1571312382 / 9781571312389; Born in India to medical missionaries, Carolyn Servid grew up along the Arabian Sea yet knew that this homeland was not her own. Years later, back in America, a trip to Alaska reawakened "a sensibility I did not fully understand" - the sense of connection between the human heart and the land. This shoreline would become her home. Describing the landscape around Sitka, Alaska and her joy in rowing Thimbleberry Bay in her red Banks dory, Servid conveys the elusive, soul-sustaining qualities of knowing a place well. Her story asks larger questions about how people relate to the land around them: Whether as a place for recreation, as a site of occasional retreat, or, in Servid's case, as an ongoing intimate relationship of growing pleasure and knowledge - the land as lover found. 192 pages with acknowledgments and works cited. On the bottom of the pages is a small remainder mark. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
