I cannot remember where I found this copy of Another Kind of Autumn by Loren Eiseley. Eiseley was a professor of anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, but perhaps he is best remembered for his essays and poetry. He spent part of his life as a drifter, part as a scholar, and somewhere in there earned the honor of being called the Thoreau of the 20th century. If you have never read The Star Thrower, I highly suggest you put it at the top of your to-read list. Another Kind of Autumn, a book of poems, was published around the time of Eiseley's death in 1977.
The book is beautifully illustrated with woodcuts by Walter Ferro. I searched like crazy to find more information on Ferro, but all I could find was information on other books he illustrated. These included another of Eiseley's books, The Invisible Pyramid, some books for children, and an edition of Hemingway's Nick Adams Stories. If anyone has more information on Ferro, please post it in the comments or e-mail me. His woodcuts compliment Eiseley's poetry quite well.
I don't dare post a poem on here. I couldn't find one full-text Eiseley poem online, so that might mean that the copyright is strictly enforced. Eiseley's works are still in print and easily accessible. If you buy or borrow Another Kind of Autumn, some of my favorites are "Habits Nocturnal," "The Black Snake," and "The Fungus Bed."
