Beauty
. . . is at once a story and a poem -- a novel of love, desire, and surrender told in the intimate language of nature. A nameless writer meets a nameless animal tracker in an isolated northern wilderness. She is ethereal, passionate, and obsessed with beauty; he is instinctual, arrogantly physical, and coldly certain of nature's merciless laws of survival. Neither one admits to loneliness. She chases him, seeking her soul in her own body's sensual wonder; he avoids her, afraid of his own heart.
This is a poem of raptors, of hot-blooded mammals, of wind and winter, and of hunter and hunted. It is also a story, unfolded through animal dreams, of an artist's shifting relationship with the world: the longing that wakes her, the humanness that finally empowers her, and the talons and wings and heartbreak that make her real.
