In terms of genre the book comes closest to books like Wallace Stegner’s Wolf Willow or the essay collections of Edward Abbey and Wendell Berry, books that blend personal vision and regional evocation. Stafford's essays in this tradition range from the direct exploration of A Walk in Early May to the abstract meditation of Out of This World with Chaucer and the Astronauts, to the familial and social reflections of The Great Depression as Heroic Age. Animating them all is the sense that there is joy in knowing the world-and the belief that true knowing brings, as Stafford says, a change of heart. Stafford writes poetic and evocative prose as he reflects on such subjects as Indian place names, bears, and local eccentrics.
