One Last Cast Click Picture of Cover for Larger View Swensen, Evan
$14.95
Listeners of Alaska Outdoor Radio Magazine turned up the volume just a little as Evan ended his show with "And now before we close the show, there's just time for one last cast." One Last Cast is the collection of 120 of listeners' favorite one last casts. It's more than fishing Alaska. It's flying with Charlie's pilot, an early-morning walk on a deserted Kachemak Bay beach, digging clams, pulling crab and shrimp pots, taking pictures, keeping a campfire going, and watching and interacting with Alaska's wildlife. Sometimes it's doing nothing -- taking time to just sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings, breathing air so pure you can't see it, listening to the deafening silence of a still night, or feeling the immense size of wilderness on a clear day with unlimited visibility. One Last Cast is the genuine Alaska outdoor experience.
Optimum Use of Space Click Picture of Cover for Larger View La Fleur, Belinda
$9.95
Optimum Use of Space is the result of a self-imposed exile which was protected by the Alaska elements. "I tried to write about being alone, a curse and a blessing, in a completely foreign territory without family, old friends, and acquaintances to keep me from spilling out of my mold. It's about the challenges of the journey inward, discovering how tough I could be, and also how tender. Most of the poems were written in a 2-year period when I lived with my two children in a cabin without running water or electricity, a most natural setting for poetry to form."
