Korrigan's Shadow

Korrigan's Shadow is a romance about a young fishing guide and the wild girl he pursues from the north woods of Wisconsin to the world of beat poets in San Francisco during the late l950's. It is a love affair felt both by the children and the solitary men who raised them while urging them, via poetry and philosophy, to honor the mysteries of the feminine, and thus to reclaim, through music and myth, the lost wilderness in their souls.
