Abstract "Considers twenty-one elements of the Sierra Nevada-from granite to aspen to a species of butterfly-in pairs of essays. The first looks at the natural history and science of each element; the second treats the element through poetry and the lens of mysticism. Interwoven are vignettes from a 2017 backpacking trip"--Provided by publisher
