A sense of place

Seasonal is a lyric memoir of Ed Engle's time as a forest service employee in southwestern Colorado. Engle's prose reads like poetry. His writing is both finely crafted and evocative and haunting. If ever a person had a love of place, Engle has that passion for the "edges of things" found only in southwestern Colorado - the shape of the terrain, the swoop of a nighthawk's wing on a summer evening, the beauty of the place called "The Glade." Engle describes wild men and fellow crew members, an incredible race over the top of Imogene Pass, and long summer days as a "timber beast", cruising the forest, marking trees for timber sales. For anyone who loves the out of doors or loves the Rocky Mountain West, this book is a treasure. It is currently out of print, so snap it up if you are lucky enough to come across a copy.
