Sandra Barry sent me the link to the latest issue of Orion magazine (January 21,2021). It contains two interesting items:
- Digital story map, The Place where you live.
- Video of a conversation between Robert MacFarlane and Barry Lopez at Powell’s Bookstore in Portland, Oregon in 2019. The topic was MacFarlane’s new book Underland. The video by David Lukas is forty eight minutes long.
I also received from Moose House Publications, the link to their new interactive map, Tour the World of Moose House.
The interview by Barry Lopez encouraged me to pull off the shelf, Arctic Dreams. Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape, first published in 1986.
What impressed me about the conversation between two writers that I have enjoyed – was their emphasis on language, and it’s relationship to Geography.
It does not take much effort to transform ‘conversation’ to ‘conservation’.

I clicked several book icons on the interactive Moose House Press map and found this to be a great source for place-based stories. Well done.
