The prose in this collection of hunting essays from the writer and poet Sydney Lea is as lyrical and colorful as a fall morning in the New England woods. Like other writers who have tried to convey the beauty and knowledge that can be gained through blood sport in an age of dogmatic NRA rhetoric and shrill animal-rights advocacy (Tom McGuane comes to mind), Lea wrestles with the central paradox of 20th-century hunting: stalking and killing wild animals can bring one closer to a mostly forgotten elemental earth. Lea conveys a respect for his quarry, the land they both inhabit, and man's place in a living chain in which the actions of any single link can be felt throughout. One need not be a hunter to enjoy these meditations on landscape and humankind's place within the natural community.
