The essay is about the three days my then girlfriend and I spent with her friend, Cormac, as we sought advice and inspiration for the book we were writing about her life as a professional poker player. It was the best \"workshop\" I've ever attended.The nine other essays were honored with the distinction of Notable Essay of the Year in The Best American Essays. They are about my life in Wyoming.\"Garry Wallace's essays frame up a world that feels completely lived in-things are resonantly what they are, seen close up and also receding into the lonesome Western distance. Encounters are honest, accurately drawn; and the moments that mystify, bringing sorrow or unexpected light, they reach us right through the language. \" Sven Birkerts, author of The Other Walk: Essays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garry Wallace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466495906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGarry Wallace has an MA in zoology from the University of Montana and an MFA in nonfiction literature and writing from Bennington College, Vermont.
