by Eric Chandler (Author)

For a whole year, Eric Chandler wrote a poem after every cross-country ski, run, hike, and paddle. Chandler logged his observations both at home in Duluth, Minnesota and while traveling as an airline pilot. A few months into this project, he wrote a haibun (with its combination of prose and haiku) and stuck with that form for the rest of the year. He took one of the most adventurous, solo backpacking trips of his life that year: he and his dog Leo hiked for five days through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Minnesota. They followed the Kekekabic Trail, inspiring the book's title. This unique poetry collection will inspire you to pay closer attention during your outdoor adventures whether close to home or far away.
