Only Kayak by Kim Heacox
Finalist for the 2006 Pen Center USA Western award in creative nonfiction.
[A] tender chronicle of a miracle in process, with glints of its rarity thrown by the handful from these pages--Kirkus ReviewsWriter and photographer Heacox delivers a genuine, deeply moving account of the past twenty-five years he has spent living in Glacier Bay, Alaska.--Publishers Weekly'Make access easy, and a place dies,' is his motto, and therein lies the paradox that Heacox tries to resolve in this book. . . . As he wrestles with such conundrums, Heacox creates a nicely balanced environmental portrait of Alaska's ice-cut coast.--Booklist
