California Book Award Gold Medal Winner

This new volume captures the wonderful thing about the California coast from Mendocino, Point Reyes, and the San Francisco Bay down thru Carmel, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica. Woodcut artist Tom Killion’s prints combine exquisite color with dynamic composition to portray the coast’s ever-changing moods and various formations: hurricane tides crashing at Point Lobos, serene moonlit coves at Mendocino, fog encircling the Golden Gate Bridge. Deepening our revel in are poetry and prose from Gary Snyder, in addition to selections from Native Californian traditional stories, accounts of travelers, and poems by Jane Hirshfield, Robert Hass, and Jaime de Angulo. As Tamalpais Walking and The Prime Sierra of California did for lovers of mountains, California’s Wild Edge will delight any person who has seen (or needs to peer) the meeting of land and sea.
