Denali: A Literary Anthology
Bill Sherwonit (Editor)
"From Athabascan distant-time legends to contemporary tales of modern-day adventures, the storytellers in this anthology powerfully portray the wild nature of Denali, the High One, and the vast wilderness region that surrounds The Mountain. They tell us of the landscape's dangers, its obstacles, and its abundant wildlife; and they share its allures, whether gold or mountaintops, snow-white sheep or wilderness solitude. Here we discover why men and women who are drawn to this place find hope, challenge, inspiration, and sometimes sorrow - in Denali and the broad shadow that The Mountain casts. We learn, too, of the new possibilities for personal discovery, both past and present, and the essence of the 'wilderness spirit' that draws people here and sometimes will not let go. Finally, we learn of threats to the region's wildness that prompt writers and other storytellers to continue sharing the story of Denali and the ancient magic that must be protected."
