Most outdoor enthusiasts understand the phrase turn around time as
that point in an adventure when you must cease heading out in order to
have enough time to safely return to camp or homeregardless of whether
you have reached your destination. For award-winning novelist David
Guterson, it is also a metaphor for where we find ourselves in the
middle of our lives, and his new narrative poem Turn Around Time: A
Walking Poem for the Pacific Northwest explores this idea through a
lyrical journey along a trail, much like those in Washingtons mountain
ranges which he hiked while growing up. With a fast-moving, propulsive
quality, Davids writing offers lush language, vivid imagery, and
pacing that resonates as a journey on foot. Outdoor-lovers will relate
to the physicality of hiking represented here, from endless trail
switchbacks to foot and ankle pains as well as observant descriptions
of the mountain landscape. Davids words are brought further to life by
the delicate yet mythical illustrations by award-winning artist Justin
Gibbens.
