Product Information
"Woodsqueer" sometimes describe a person who has taken to the wild for an extended period of time. Gretchen Legler is no stranger to this stir craziness. Creating a life on eighty acres in backwoods Maine, Legler and her partner live with solitude, endless trees, and wild animals. This homage to rural American life considers what we have lost-individually and collectively-as a result of our urban lifestyles. Learning the skills needed to live sustainably, from foraging mushrooms to plucking a chicken to wielding an axe, the two witness an evolution of their humanity as they become more connected to the land and each other.

Reviews
"This poignant examination of the natural world and the author's unique place in it will delight readers itching to get outdoors." -- Publishers Weekly, Woodsqueer: Crafting a Sustainable Rural Life Legler (On the Ice), a creative writing professor at the University of Maine at Farmington, recalls in this meditative mix of memoir and nature writing building a life on "eighty acres of wooded land with a house and barnlike shed" in the mountains of western Maine. Legler and her partner, Ruth, are "those geeks you see snooping through the woods in nylon quick-dry cargo shorts, the pockets full of binoculars, bird books, wildflower guides, and a pocketknife." Legler recounts moving to Maine from Alaska and getting acquainted with the land--she was "astonished by the thick dark"--and chronicles the fruit trees and perennial gardens they planted, and describes in intricate detail the goats and chickens they kept and the care those creatures required. Consideration is given more broadly to humans' relationship with animals: "What makes a human a human and an animal an animal?" she wonders. Legler's at her strongest when dealing with personal demons, such as memories of a mother who met her husband's "mostly verbal blows and abuse by sinking into a soft cloud of daily drunkenness," and confessions about the author's own extramarital affair. This poignant examination of the natural world and the author's unique place in it will delight readers itching to get outdoors. (Feb.) Publishers Weekly, Praise for All the Powerful Invisible Things "Ms. Legler has written a book that is part nature guide, part family history and part feminist tract, and she captures the reader's imagination with the same skill and precision with which she catches spring walleyes on the Rainey River. "-- New York Times "These moving essays so seamlessly connect her inner and outer selves that Legler (a creative writing teacher whose work has been anthologized elsewhere) even manages to combine such seemingly at-odds subjects as her love of and respect for animals and her love of hunting, her affection for her ex-husband and her strong sexual attraction to women, without ever sounding hypocritical or confused. Nature plays a part here, but really these are essays about emotional states, and Legler bares her heart as easily as she slits open the belly of a deer." -- Publishers Weekly "The awesome vision of a woman tearing herself down to the bone and then slowly, painstakingly, recreating herself in her own image...Although these essays are ostensibly distinct, together they create a sense of process that makes this book exceptional. Legler's epiphanies are book-length--and longer. What this volume evokes is beyond sympathy; the reader aches for Legler's pain." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for On the Ice "The emotional honesty of Legler's reporting significantly increases our understanding of life on the last great frontier." -- Publishers Weekly, Praise for Woodsqueer "This poignant examination of the natural world and the author's unique place in it will delight readers itching to get outdoors." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for All the Powerful Invisible Things "Ms. Legler has written a book that is part nature guide, part family history and part feminist tract, and she captures the reader's imagination with the same skill and precision with which she catches spring walleyes on the Rainey River.

This book is more than ''a back to the land'' memoir; it is a spiritual autobiography of a woman in relationship with the earth in all its power." -- Terry Tempest Williams , author of The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America''s National Parks "Gretchen Legler''s evocative and eloquent stories glow like a hearth. Her life in the Maine woods with the woman she loves is by turns joyous and conflicted, generous and greedy, compassionate and cruel. But the author is always honest and her prose exquisite, and the home these two women built together is one you''ll want to visit again and again." -- Sy Montgomery , author of The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness "In this luminous inquiry into the meaning of self-sufficiency, love, and continuance, Gretchen Legler invites us to question what we all need to feel alive to ourselves, moving beyond human connection to land, animals, and home into the wild nature of contentment itself. In Woodsqueer, Legler has crafted a morality of natural desire." -- Barrie Jean Borich , author of Apocalypse, Darling "With raw intimacy and astonishing attention to detail, Gretchen Legler brings what it means to live off the land into the twenty-first century. Woodsqueer is a refuge in these crazy times, a reminder that survival is hard but joyful." -- Lucy Jane Bledsoe , author of Lava Falls "A perfect memoir in every way . . . a deeply layered, painfully honest, and wholly gripping story. Legler keeps blazing the way toward a literature of hope." -- Janisse Ray , author of Wild Spectacle: Seeking Wonders in a World beyond Humans "Legler immerses us again and again in the sometimes tender, sometimes bloody experiences of life on a farm in rural Maine. Whether she''s nurturing chicks, milking goats, skinning hides, or foraging in the woods, the labors involved when living intimately with the land come through in all their sweaty, sensuous, humbling pleasures." -- Catherine Reid , author of The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables Praise for All the Powerful Invisible Things "Ms. Legler has written a book that is part nature guide, part family history and part feminist tract, and she captures the reader''s imagination with the same skill and precision with which she catches spring walleyes on the Rainey River.
