Description
Talking to the Moon is a poignant account of a man's solitary life in rural Oklahoma. After university and military service, John Joseph Mathews built a home on a blackjack-covered ridge, where he lived for ten years, deeply connected to the natural world around him. In this beautifully written book, Mathews describes his experiences with rare perception and style, exploring the beauty of his wilderness home and the creatures that inhabit it. He reflects on the passing of time, using both the white man's seasons and the Indian cycles of the moon as a framework for his observations. Mathews' sensitivity and generosity in responding to the natural world make this book a touching read, reminding us that such a way of life once existed for all of us.
