Product Information
What happens when we enter unfamiliar realms, when we open ourselves to the unknown? Sometimes that not-knowing makes art possible. In Toucan Nest , the eighth book by Alaska State Writer Laureate Peggy Shumaker, her first vivid encounters with the rainforests of Costa Rica--with its basilisk lizards, bats, and bromeliads, its crocodiles, sloths, and strangler figs--refresh and renew our world in a work of startlingly beautiful mindfulness and imagination.

Reviews
"Shumaker's vivid Toucan Nest is about learning to see--Costa Rica serving as the textbook. Between the parentheses of arrival and departure, the pages burst with lessons--rich, beautiful, and sometimes terrifying. For us, looking over her shoulder, it is education by proxy. So iridescent is Shumaker's language, we are there, floating downriver with the crocodiles, watching panicky iguanas hustling from a fire, the basilisk lizard 'zipping / zigzag on hind legs,' a flash of green and ruby eyes, and oh, did you hear it? the love cry of the jaguar and the cry of the quetzal whose morning song brings the whole blessèd world to life. A dazzle of a book." --Alice Friman, "Shumaker's vivid Toucan Nest is about learning to see-Costa Rica serving as the textbook.

Its poems--vibrant with seeing, quickened with sound-work, subtled by insight--peel open landscapes both outer and inner. The costs of our human presence and extractions are in these pages, but also the radiant return of human awareness. Toucan Nest is a unique account of encounter, imaginative inquiry, and expansion." --Jane Hirshfield, "This is a book of burnished, lapidary attention.

It arrived in a thin plastic bag sleeve. Id say the book was in GOOD condition not VG. Its corners are bent, cover & pages are bent inside and the cover is obviously very bowed from reading. Very good to me means near like new. This might even wax towards acceptable. Zero communication from seller. It arrived no writing inside so that’s good.
