SUMMARY:Andrew Schelling + Jaime de Angulo
DESCRIPTION:This is the Bay Area book launch for: \nTracks Along the West Coast:Jaime de Angulo & the Pacific Coast \nMore than an immersive tale of the picaresque life of cowboy linguist\, doctor\, ethnographer\, and author Jaime de Angulo— the Old Coyote of Big Sur—but an exploration of the persecuted Native Californian cultures and languages that had thrived for millennia and endured into his day.\nJaime de Angulo’s linguistic and ethnographic work\, his writings\, as well as the legends that cloak the Old Coyote himself\, vividly reflect the particulars of the Pacific coast. His poetry and prose uniquely represented the bohemian sensibility of the twenties\, thirties and forties\, and he was known for his reworkings of coyote tales and shamanic mysticism. So vivid was his writing that Ezra Pound called him “the American Ovid\,” and William Carlos Williams claimed that de Angulo was “one of the most outstanding writers I have ever encountered.”\nIn each retelling\, through each storyteller\, stories are continually revivified\, and that is precisely what Andrew Schelling has done in Tracks Along the Left Coast\, weaving together the story of a life with the story of the land and the people\, languages\, and cultures with whom it is so closely tied. \nAndrew Schelling is a poet\, essay writer\, and translator. He works on land use issues in the American West\, and teaches poetry and Sanskrit at Naropa University in Boulder\, Colorado. In India\, he teaches at Deer Park Institute in the Himalayan foothills. \nRecent titles include Love and the Turning Seasons and The Real People of Wind & Rain
