Description: "A personal ecology is what poet and writer Peggy Pond Church called the journals she kept for nearly fifty years on New Mexico's Pajarito Plateau before her death in 1986. Church's work appeared regularly in Poetry and Saturday Review of Literature, and her biography of Edith Warner, The House at Otowi Bridge, became a regional classic. She had a profound relationship with the place now known best for the Los Alamos laboratories and the Manhattan Project.". "The journals, dating from the 1930s, are studies in spiritual and psychological response to the landscape that informed Church's sensibilities and creative energy. The plateau she loved became both her subject and the basis of her connection to other women writers, particularly Warner, Mary Austin, and May Sarton."--BOOK JACKET.
