About Woodland Manitou
Product Description Woodland Manitou: To Be on Earth is a collection of essays rooted in the rhythm of the natural world. Through the turn of the seasons, Heidi Barr illustrates how the cycles of the earth have informed her everyday life from community to vocation to the food that finds its way to the dinner table. Through gardening, simple living, and prioritizing sustainability, Barr paints a picture of how remaining close to the earth provides a solid foundation even as the climate changes and the story of the world shifts. Part stories, part wonderings, and part call to act, this collection of meditations invites reflection, encourages awareness, and inspires action. Review "Written and informed by seasons spent on the Midwestern prairie, Heidi Barr's Woodland Manitou: To Be on Earth, celebrates family and land and their interconnectedness via personal essays and poems. In this, her second book, Barr draws the reader elegantly into her detailed world, bringing the prairie seasons alive, encouraging readers to walk barefoot on the Earth and her writing. As you move through this book, you may find yourself paying better attention to your surroundings. Keep your eye on Barr, as well. We will be hearing more from her, and that is a very good thing." (William Huggins, writer and contributor for Texas Review in Books) Review "To the extent it is ever possible to make sense of the human condition, Heidi Barr has done an incredible job within the illuminating pages of Woodland Manitou. The search for life meaning is never simple but, in adopting a seasonal theme, Barr provides a context that will enliven your search. Her heartfelt perspective about the challenges of the human story bridges moments, days, and years in a beautiful and compelling way. With nature as her touchstone, the author sheds a timely light on issues and dilemmas we are destined to encounter. A dynamic and inspiring book for today's world!" ( D.A. Hickman, author of Always Returning: The Wisdom of Place) About the Author Award winning author of several books, Heidi Barr is committed to cultivating ways of being that are life-giving and sustainable for people, communities and the planet.
