This sequel to True North is an inspiring collection of fishing essays set in the serene north woods of Wisconsin. Kulpa's relections on fishing as a unifying force in his life resonate with fisherman everywhere. From "fishing" at a dinner party to reflecting on Thoreau's Walden, Kulpa explores the wonders of the wild's call.
Recently anointed "the master of the short outdoor essay" by no less than Gray's Sporting Journal, Jack Kulpa picks up where his award-winning book True North leaves off, somewhere in the Wisconsin woods where "the calling is a simple and uncomplicated thing; but like the mists of a brooding bog it can also be a riddle—cryptic deep, and filled with mystery." This new collection, drawn from work that appeared in such magazines as Field and Stream, Sports Afield, and Sporting Classics, contains thirty-two essays organized into four parts: "Lakes and Streams;" "Forests and Fields;" "Tail Feathers and Backlash;" and "Home from the Hill." While the essays address a variety of topics, each is inspired by what the author refers to as "the silent places where we have heard the wild calling."
