Description

Compost Press, 1985. First Edition. Softcover. Like New. 6x0x9. Signed by Author. Inscribed "Chip Rawlins Pinedale 1987". The author's first book; signed copies rarely offered. (And with brief gift inscription by previous owner). Brown pictorial wraps with black lettering on wrap and spine; 63 pages. A Ceremony On Bare Ground is a prayer to the wilderness, a personal witness seasoned with sweat and trail dust, an homage, a blessing to people, both native and immigrant who endure and flourish beneath the blaze of the immense western sky. It is a poetic ritual for rekindling the light of lives and times lost, a Ghost Dance invoking the rapture and torment of an existence inseparable from an overwhelming landscape. It is a ceremony that beats out a rhythm with the cadence of the heart -- a continuous harmony of past, present, life and death. C.L. (Chip) Rawlins is an editor-at-large for High Country News and has received both the U.S. Forest Service Primitive Skills Award and a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in poetry. He has served as president of the Wyoming Outdoor Council and on the Greater Yellowstone Coalition.
