Inhaltsangabe
"In April 1909, twenty-two-year-old Robert Silliman Judd, born and raised in Bethel, Connecticut, climbed aboard a train bound for the northern plains where his uncle Elmer farmed in Cando, North Dakota. Robert roamed the prairie with Elmer for six months, observing and collecting birds during the great spring migration. Decades later, Robert's granddaughter Margaret Rogal discovered his notebooks filled with detailed records of birds, nests, and eggs, along with his letters and summaries portraying his love for North Dakota and the thousands of migrating birds, alighting, it seemed, at his very feet. Margaret responded to the trove of documents with poetry; each sample herein is an exploration of Robert's experience"--Back cover.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Margaret Rogal grew up in Connecticut, not far from where her grandfather Robert Silliman Judd--the subject of these poems--was born and raised, and where he lived his entire life. Although a New Englander by birth and nature, Rogal spent thirty years in Iowa and Illinois, raising two daughters and working as a librarian. A graduate of Colgate University, Rogal studied poetry at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival, Augustana College, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. Now a resident of Vermont, Rogal was a finalist for the Poetry of the Plains & Prairies Award and the Sundog Poetry Book Award. Her poetry has appeared in such journals as Common Ground Review, Broad Street, Zig Zag Lit Mag, Miramar, and SALT. Field Notes is her first book-length collection.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Mike Jacobs (illustrator). In April 1909, twenty-two-year-old Robert Silliman Judd, born and raised in Bethel, Connecticut, climbed aboard a train bound for the far northern plains where his uncle Elmer farmed in Cando, North Dakota. Robert was on his way to roam the prairie with Elmer, observing and collecting birds during the great spring migration. When librarian and poet Margaret Rogal pored over tiny notebooks-filled with detailed records of birds, nests, and eggs-that her grandfather Robert kept during his six-month stay in Cando, and when she read the letters he wrote home to his mother, father, and grandfather, she wanted to talk back, she had to, with poems, each one an exploration of a particular aspect of Robert's experience: his two families, the one in Connecticut he sorely missed, and the uncle, aunt, and young cousins he was growing attached to in North Dakota; long days behind a binder and a team of horses; and, most of all, the birds migrating by the thousands through North Dakota, alighting, it seemed, at his very feet. Wherever Robert went, always with a pencil and notebook in his pocket to record and note, he recreated with words a world that must have seemed strange as well as beautiful-he had lived only in Connecticut up to this point in his life. Those notebooks, journals, and letters are a gift for Margaret, in which her grandfather wrote about his six months of slowly and surely falling in love with northern North Dakota: not just with the family who lived there and the grueling but rewarding demands of life on a farm, but with the prairie itself-its undulating terrain, punctuated by the surprising appearance of potholes, sloughs, and coulees, its wind and mosquitoes, its yellow violets and effulgent sunsets, the sky wider and deeper than he ever imagined; and, most importantly, the dozens of bird species he observed, recorded, and collected.
