About this item
"Like Wendell Berry and Rachel Carson, Hanlon is a true poet-ecologist, sharing in exquisitely resonant prose her patient observations of nature's most intimate details.

I loved it!" -- , author of Swimming to Antarctica and Swimming in the SinkThe Great Marsh is the largest continuous stretch of salt marsh in New England, extending from Cape Ann to New Hampshire.
