A Year of Moons

Reviews

“Joseph Bruchac is among our wisest and most enduring storytellers. His voice, his flute, and his tales are grace notes. A Year of Moons speaks to the cyclic nature of Western Abenaki home ground. Within these pages, readers will find an incantation of attention, patience, and what endures through the generations: a fierce love of place.” –Terry Tempest Williams, Author of The Hour of Land
 
“Bruchac’s A Year of Moons weaves seasonal observations, remembrances, and stories into each chapter, engaging the reader's imagination, heart, and senses, and then wraps up each one with beautiful haiku. A journey not to be missed!” –Traci Sorell, Author of Powwow Day
 
“I really appreciate A Year of Moons. It is, in my opinion, not only a summing up of a year, but in many ways a thoughtful glimpse into the world of an extremely talented writer and philosopher. In particular, he makes the Adirondacks vivid and near personal for this Mississippi Delta swamp rat.”
– Geary Hobson, Author and Poet

“A Year of Moons is a rich, eclectic combination of what Bruchac has seen and learned. . . He tells of that life in a gentle storyteller’s voice, the kind one listens to at a table in a pub or sitting around a campfire." —Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
