California's Wild Edge: The Coast in Prints, Poetry, and History

California's Wild Edge: The Coast in Prints, Poetry, and History by Killion, Tom. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781597142991.

This new volume captures the beauty of the California coast from Mendocino, Point Reyes, and the San Francisco Bay down through Carmel, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica. Woodcut artist Tom Killions prints combine exquisite color with dynamic composition to portray the coasts ever-changing moods and diverse formations: storm tides crashing at Point Lobos, serene moonlit coves at Mendocino, fog encircling the Golden Gate Bridge. Deepening our experience are poetry and prose from Gary Snyder, as well as selections from Native Californian traditional stories, accounts of travelers, and poems by Robinson Jeffers, Robert Hass, and Jaime de Angulo. As Tamalpais Walking and The High Sierra of California did for lovers of mountains, Californias Wild Edge will delight anyone who has seen (or wants to see) the meeting of land and sea.
