"have not chosen to record the
story of the women in the mill
towns and fishing towns where I
grew up. It is the stories of these
women that interests me. My work
is a resurrection of the 'woman
blues'."
And she catches these stories,
cleanly, simply -- from within
them, from within the woman
living them. The deeply felt con
cerns, the fears and hopes and
boredoms that outsiders might
discount too easily as "trivial."
No reporter of events, Jana
Harris lets us in how it feeli to live
these lives. Like good blues, it isn't
all sad; there's deep and warm
humor. And there's a measure of
the salty, too.
She opens the book remembering
the river, speaking of it; she ends
the poem: "I turn/ find you/ not
beside me/ like the buildings/ of
my childhood/ torn down."
Then, back through all the
lives... stopping to catch the many
kinds of moment: "maroon
feathered wallpaper/ shouts-out
the paint/ and there is nothing to
do/ but watch the water/ stand on
the streets/ for days/ nothing to
do/ but watch the rain/ mow the
wheat..."
And again the river and a horse
from childhood with which she
swam it: "I drowned the dark spots
of my soul/ in that river/ drifting
downstream." And Ma "telling me
I'd forget the bad/ and remember
the good."
Sad, funny, probing poems,
then, that show us none of the
doings and feelings of human lives
and trivial -- if they're lived.

TWO FOR THE TRAIL
Judging from statistics released
each year by park officials, interest
in backpacking shows no sign of
abating. There seem to be more of
these modern-day trail-blazers each
year.
In addition to their evident love
and respect for their natural sur
roundings, back-packers share one
other thing in common: They have
to eat. And the good news is that
there are two new volumes which
can be of great assistance. You
won't find any gourmet recipes in
them, but each of them can help
you survive "on the trail."
BACKCOUNTRY COOKING
by J . Wayne Fears contains a lot of
good information along with a
great deal that is, or should be,
such common knowledge that it
seems a pity to waste valuable print
space (almost anyone who can read
a lable ought to be able to make a

cup of bouillon, for instance). And
if everyone who hits the trail
depends on Fear's recipes, which
call for canned cream soups, Spam
and other weighty objects, they
will each need a three-quarter ton
truck to haul provisions. And
nearly anyone who has respect for
decent food will find his/her gorge
rising at the mere mention of
Tang, a product with the general
consistency and aftertaste of
brackish water. And the recipe for
"baked" potato? wrapped tightly
in foil ? will produce a "steamed"
potato several times before you
start to throw it on the coals,
allowing steam to escape, giving
the potato skin a more nearly
"baked" taste and texture and, in
cidentally, preventing an occa
sional explosion.
These quibbles aside, BACK
COUNTRY COOKING is a book
worth having, particulary for those
well-organized hikers who have the
wherewithal to carry around with
them some of the more advanced
equipment Fears recommends.
There are good chaDters on drving
food, making beefjerky and using a
Dutch oven.
