    By Chris Clarke on 2011 12 28 at 12:06:20 am | 2 comments | Shorter URL: http://coyot.es/x0Se

  • A very generous review
    By Chris Clarke on 2010 05 26 at 3:42:24 pm | 2 comments | Shorter URL: http://coyot.es/x0n

    Elizabeth Eslami has written an extraordinarily generous review of Walking With Zeke.

    Just the one line about Ed Abbey, Rick Bass and Barry Lopez will I think keep me grinning for the next week or so:

    He’s a less prickly Ed Abbey, a tougher Rick

    Writing proceeds apace on the Joshua tree book. I’ve finished a chapter that introduces the dynamics of the grass-fire cycle, and am getting ready to dive into the next one without stopping for breath.

    True, it’s old news to some of you that I wrote a book about my adventures with my friend Zeke. There are a lot of new people traipsing through here unexpectedly, though. Not coincidentally, it looks like the huge crowds of new folks — as welcome

    This is a first draft of chapter three of the J Tree book, to be read tonight at the Writers Group. Again, like previous chapters, it won’t be here forever, but I thought I’d maximize the feedback possibilities in this new age of open-source

    My recent collection of verse, A Tapetum Knowledge, was selling for 19.99 when I first released it a few months back. I’ve decided to drop the price to 12.99, starting now. (I realize that this may be annoying to those who bought it at the higher

    An excerpt from Walking with Zeke:

    March 23, 2004
    We’ve named the rabbit Thistle. Or he named himself: that was the one name he responded to at all. Smart bunny: the second-runner-up name was “Stu.”

    Thistle was running around in the back yard
