Description: Southwest Wisconsin, the rugged area untouched by the last glaciers, is a gem of exquisite beauty and unique natural features. In these lyrical essays, John Motoviloff explores the region through the lens of hunting and fishing. In so doing, he breaks down the traditional barriers between hunting and environmentalism, between poetry and prose. Whether recalling June dusk on an Iowa County trout stream, a session with a young lab crouched in the rushes of the Mississippi, or days and nights spent on the Kickapoo or the Wisconsin, Motoviloff transports the reader, through vivid and poetic writing, to a rare and magical place. Motoviloff's stories have appeared in the anthology Wisconsin Seasons, in the Wisconsin Academy Review and the Wisconsin River Valley Journal, and in national publications including Ducks Unlimited and Gray's Sporting Journal. He lives in Madison.
