The Rural Life

In Verlyn Klinkenborg's latest book, The Rural Life, he writes about the wildness of a hemlock forest, the emotional impact of a February rainstorm, and the passing of the seasons. We talk with him about how rural living differs from city and suburban life, and how the natural world dictates daily life. Klinkenborg's work appears in many publications including, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Harper's. His other books are Making Hay and The Last Fine Time. www.twbookmark.com
