You may very much enjoy this book, as I did. It’s a powerful, haunting, elegaic ode in poems and stories to the ancient story of the working dog – here, the border collie – sheep, family life, and the power and beauty of undeveloped land. This ideal is vanishing in America, a country obsessed with financial markets and Black Friday’s, too busy and stressed to worry about the elemental and beautiful things in life. If you have worked with dogs and sheep, or working dogs of most kinds, you know what this means and its great power. T Yamamota has captured this in this collection of lovely writing. Check it out at OutrunPress.
