Sights, sounds, quiet and mice-they are all a part of the surroundings that speak to the receptive soul of this eloquent poet. Adirondack Sojourn is our own cabin in the woods inviting us inside for awe and meditation...and laughter. John Hutchinson's poetic responses to life and loons, the world outside, the warmth of a fireplace inside, take us along on a remarkable journey. We shake our heads in astonishment that someone else can name our own longings, remind us of long-forgotten memories and surprise us with profound insights abounding in the ordinary things around us. Time on this journey is well spent. Marcia Gleckler, author of Dear Deolinda
