  • on The Never-Never Country by Henry Lawson, on February 24, 2005
    Growing up in the Sonoran Desert (Yuma, Arizona) I loved the desert imagery - Yuma, a crossroads of the Colorado, and also a no mans land of sorts - (transients abound in the delta of the river as the climate allows all year camping and water) The walks on Indian trail over a thousand years old (Quechan tribe - worked for Native American Health Service four years in Yuma) - makes this in a way my favorite in being able to relate in a way to reflect on some of my most enjoyable years - a time of adventure, and close calls with too adventurous hikes in the daytime during summer - That was my Never Never land and a place I hope to return

    At first a hard slog - but worth the read as one finds reflection of the past a universal calling as one approaches a mature age(50 next year - I think I can say I am old enough to relate) - while I had trouble with the initial slang, I loved the softness in reflection at ones lifes end years - not the softness of weakness, but rather a wise understanding of life, its brevity, things enjoyed, opportunites squandered - this to me is why good writes should be read - it adds to ones life by inspiring the desire to savor ones present -

    Beautiful in reflecting a code of honor - for me it brings images not just of settlers of the american west, but rather more intensly the photos of depression era dust-bowl farm wives - stoic, whose goal is the preservation of the family - "The Grapes of Wrath" - in a beautiful Australian story

  • on The Ride Of Rody Burke by Alice Guerin Crist, on February 24, 2005
    In a way for me a version of "Call of the Wild" - though more pathos concerning the human tragedy -I loved the ethnic roots - Irish baladeering - In these Australian Bush writes I have found also as in London the animals share a unique balance with or advantage over mankind - the works all reflect respect for the wild element of the beasts we all work besides
