Short Desription

Critically acclaimed poet, novelist, and memoirist Larry Woiwode returns to the fertile territory of his life in this stirring memoir.

In this deeply afflicting memoir, Larry Woiwode addresses his son as heir to his emotional interior. A man of beautiful language and poetic sensibilities, Woiwode begins his story by relating a near-death experience with a malfunctioning hay baler caused by the kind of mistake that can kill a novice farmer. This episode launches a diffusely woven series of memories, from snippets of Woiwode''s days in New York as a young writer working with the late great William Maxwell, to his days as a young father, husband, and teacher trying to scrape enough together to buy a ranch in western North Dakota, to the prospect of an empty nest and the step from death that he finds rapidly approaching.

As Kirkus Reviews rightly said of Woiwode''s previous memoir, A Step From Death is also a work of "purest sense and sensitivity," rife with scarred beauty, naked triumphs, and vivid storytelling.
