Description: Songs of the Fluteplayer by Sharman Apt Russell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Filled with "honest" writing and "wise" observations, "Russells well-written essays describe her life as an urban immigrant to the rural Southwest" (Library Journal). In 1981, newlywed Sharman Apt Russell moved with her husband to an agricultural valley in southwestern New Mexico, hoping to create a simpler life. From building their adobe house to the home-birth of their firstborn to growing their own food and navigating the seasonal flooding of the Mimbres River, these luminous essays chart Sharmans journey toward self-sufficiency in a land as mythical and remote as the image of the prehistoric fluteplayer found on the pottery in trading posts throughout the Southwest. Replete with wisdom and a reverence for the Native American people whose relics Sharman discovers everywhere on the land around her, this award-winning memoir pays tribute to the power and grace of nature, our deep connection to our prehistoric past, and the beauty of living in communion with the land. "A fine contribution to the literature of the modern American Southwest . . . [Russell] achieves just the right mix of fact and metaphor, humor and poetics." —Booklist "These essays say much about the difficulty of maintaining an alternate lifestyle." —Publishers Weekly "A lovely little book. To be kept and read and read again." —Tony Hillerman, bestselling author Author Biography Sharman Apt Russell was awarded the 2016 John Burroughs Medal for Distinguished Nature Writing, whose other recipients include Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, and Roger Tory Peterson.
