THE PINNACLE
When something in nature is lost, no two people respond in exactly the same way.
A threatened woodland stream haunts the dreams, and waking life, of a person not normally accustomed to spending time in wild places.
An ancient tree patiently sifts the wind for linguistic evidence of humanity’s ecological awareness.
A white trout eludes all human effort to locate, define, and protect it.
A dying woman attains, through her art, a connection to nature bordering on omnipresence.
In this collection of immersive short stories, the reader is invited to inhabit- and become aligned within- the moral landscape of ecological loss: and to reflect upon the limits of what is endurable, and acceptable, for the wild places important to them.
