Title : Prairie - James Galvin - book

Summary :

A cult book in the United States, Prairie , by the poet James Galvin, is part of the great American literary tradition that goes from Henry Thoreau to Annie Dillard.
The main character is a prairie located in the Colorado Rockies. A land whose slightest whispers are heard by Lyle, an old man from a family of ranchers. Before him, two generations of men have known snow, wind, and sun there, and their lives, at once violent, chaotic, and gentle, are a reflection of the soil that shaped them. They do not own the land; the land owns them. A true ode to the grandeur and harshness of the American West, this text reveals, word by word, all its beauty and strength: the prairie—with its inhabitants, its landscapes, its seasons, its fauna, and its flora—takes on a universal dimension.
