"What might it mean, existentially and spiritually, to form an intimate relation with discrete places on earth? This book offers a uniquely integrative perspective on the matter. Centered on analyzing US literatures, it reflects a theological phenomenology cognizant of the spiritualities grounded in First Nature as well as settled spaces" --
