A Rogue River trip like no other…

While searching for holiday gifts online at Powell’s Books, I stumbled upon John Daniel’s Rogue River Journal. The book is a nonfiction narrative account of a four-and-a-half-month experiment in solitude in a remote Rogue River cabin. Rogue River Journal is the winner of a 2006 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association award. I’ve read several other books written by Daniel, including Looking After: A Son’s Memoir, Common Ground, Wild Song: Poems of the Natural World, and All Things Touched by Wind. I’ve been a fan since being introduced at a writers’ workshop in Sitka, Alaska. I’ll try to finish the copy I just ordered in time to pass it along as a gift to an unsuspecting Oregon rafting enthusiast. I’m adding his coffee table book, Oregon Rivers, to my holiday list. (hint)
