Jelinski's poems are intended to be read by outdoors enthusiasts and armchair enthusiasts, alike! For those who feel the most alive when they are in wild places and for whom fishing isn't just sport but, brotherhood and breakfast, the book provides a recognition, a "knowing" about being in the wilds and doing the work.

Just as important, and perhaps, more importantly, the book is for those who may never have fished a stream or gazed from a mountain top over a morning mist, yet nonetheless recognize in these poems places we long for, places within us where water, light and breath live."

It is a book to be read around the campfire. or from a favorite chair. This book represents a unique collaboration between two authentic Montana artists: a poet and a painter.
