Went on a little ski from the cabin up McCarthy Creek on Sunday afternoon. Turned around at these two bull moose. Kind of surprised they haven’t shed their antlers yet.

I guess it’s almost time for my annual “drive to Anchorage in an ice storm hellscape” trip, and this time I’ll be signing books at Title Wave on Saturday with my @porphyrypress.bsky.social pressmate John Messick. Come see us if you can? Send road reports? 😬

David James's insightful and positive book review of Erica Watson's GHOSTS OF DISTANT TREES appears in both the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner and Anchorage Daily News today. It's gratifying to see such a careful and astute take on this book.

A few pics from my first couple book-talking/selling events this last week, in Fairbanks, with @pataky.bsky.social and @coyotetrail.bsky.social & here at Denali. It’s been a lovely transition into this stage of my book’s life!

4 light skinned people, 3 of whom are holding books, in front of a bookstore shelf. One person holds Alaska is Not a Blank Space: Unsettling Also Leopold’s Odyssey, and two hold Ghosts of Distant Trees

Me signing books! The focus is on me, with the stack of books in the foreground slightly blurred

Caught this launch at the Spokane library before it’s time to return to AK… poet Laura Read read from her latest, THE SERIOUS WORLD (Boa Editions) and former WA State Poet Laureate Kathleen Flenniken read from DRESSING IN THE DARK from Lynx House Press. @auntiesbooks.bsky.social sold lots of books!

How’s the Bill Callahan song go? “To hotwire and hightail crosses my mind.”

Both myself and @porphyrypress.bsky.social were kicked off both Meta platforms with no warning and no recourse for no reason last week while traveling in Montana. Time to suss out Substack and Bluesky as alternatives. Cheers to new horizons!

Unhappy to report that both myself and Porphyry Press were kicked off of both Meta platforms with no warning and no recourse for no reason. So! Hello Bluesky. Join me in Fairbanks on Nov. 19 to launch @rickirobin.bsky.social's new book, GHOSTS OF DISTANT TREES!
