The Bur Oak Manifesto Seeking Nature and Planting Trees in the Great Plains

An excellent addition to the nature writing canon, The Bur Oak Manifesto includes 28 essays, some published in the regional journal Prairie Fire, with new writing exclusive to this expanded second edition. "Inspired by immersion, Phillips has crafted a remarkable ode to the oak nation as he weaves ecological experience with language and culture to reveal a mystic glimpse of an ancient ecosystem and the power of human connectionsto protect our vital and vanishing wild." --Amy Kucera, associate editor for NEBRASKAland Magazine
