From the National Book Award-winning author of Arctic Dreams comes a timeless, intoxicating collection of evocative stories.
A flock of great blue herons descending through a snowstorm to the streets of New York ... A river in Nebraska disappearing mysteriously ... A ghostly herd of buffalo that sings a song of death ...
