THE SINGING GROVES
by Walt Franklin

Lost in springtime reverie, Franklin reminisces about harvesting wild leeks from a nearby brook while contemplating the damage done there by a careless neighbor. His descriptions of the flora and fauna living around his country home underscore the importance of a close and conscientious relationship with nature.

NATURAL CAUSES
by Walt McLaughlin
In this short piece straddling the line between essay and narrative, McLaughlin contemplates life and death in the wild while bushwhacking and fishing in Vermont´s Lye Brook Wilderness with his dog, Jesse. An encounter with a dying kingfisher puts everything in perspective. Black & white line drawing by Joan Hyme. Letterpress printed and handbound by Clarence Wolfshohl. (Timberline Press, 2000) 12 pages, 3" x 5" pocketbook, $3.00
WILD LILIES
by Walt McLaughlin
Here´s a celebration of nature´s most pervasive spring wildflower -- an essay rivaling Beasley´s short discourse on dragonflies. McLaughlin touches upon the endless varieties of this flower while infusing its natural history with mythology and personal encounter. #3 in the Cedar Tick Natural History Chapbook Series. (Timberline Press, 1995) 18 pages, 4"x6" pocketbook, letterpress printed and handbound, $3.00
FOREST UNDER MY FINGERNAILS
Reflections and Encounters on Vermont´s Long Trail
by Walt McLaughlin
Natural history and philosophical speculation, as well as a brief history of the Long Trail, are woven into this narrative about long-distance hiking in early summer. In addition to the flora and fauna, a few of the colorful characters encountered along the way are also described. The result is a story that evokes the wonder and beauty of the forest while providing an inside look at life on the trail. (Heron Dance, 2nd edition, 2006) 177 pages, paperback, $16.00
