sigurd olson

Having long been a fan of Sigurd Olson's writing, I was pleased this spring when excerpts from his journals were published as "A Private Wilderness: The Journals of Sigurd F. Olson." Olson's outdoor experiences are recorded in his books, and now readers can see how he developed his thinking about the books he wrote. Reading a writer's journals is different than reading the books. The author in the journals is developing, trying out words, phrases, and ideas, and it is a treat to look inside that creative mind while all this preparation and dreaming is going on. I wrote a review of "A Private Wilderness" for RiverTown Multimedia. Click here to read it.
