Granite and Grace reflects Michael Cohen’s fifty-year encounter with the granite in the high country of Yosemite National Park, where he seeks a sense of belonging in an era called the Anthropocene. By creating a dialogue between geological and literary representations, where the geological becomes metaphorical, while science turns mythological, these essays shaped by on-the-rock encounters with landforms, open up important experiential and pragmatic dimensions.
Michael P. Cohen is an award-winning author of several books including Treelines and A Garden of Bristlecones: Tales of Change in the Great Basin. Cohen, a rock climber and mountaineer, is a pioneer of first ascents in the Sierra Nevada, and has been a professional mountain guide. He splits his time between Reno, NV and June Lake, CA. he first visited Tuolumne Meadows in 1955.
