Koviashuvik
Books | Nature / Essays
Sam Wright
On a slope above a mountain lake in AlaskaÕs Brooks Range, Sam and Billie Wright built a twelve-by-twelve-foot log cabin with hand tools and named it KoviashuvikÑan Eskimo word meaning "living in the present moment with quiet joy and happiness." SamÕs account of the twenty years they spent there is both a tale of wilderness survival and an inspiring meditation on the natural world and humanityÕs relationship to it.
