Dallas Lore Sharp

The Lay of the Land Dallas Lore Sharp

The Lay of the Land features fifteen nature sketches written from Sharp's personal observations of the land and its inhabitants over a number of years. Subjects include muskrats preparing a home, Christmas in the woods, buzzards nesting and much more. The title chapter urges the reader to spend time observing nature for themselves.

"Nature study is the out-of-door side of natural history, the unmeasured, unprinted side of poetry. It is joy in breathing the air of the fields; joy in seeing, hearing, living the life of the fields; joy in knowing and loving all that lives with you in your out-of-doors." - Dallas Lore Sharp
