Zimmer juxtaposes timeless rustic subjects with flashbacks to key moments: his first and only boxing match, his return to the France of his ancestors, his painful departure from the publishing world after forty years. These stories are full of humor and pathos, but the real center of the book is the abiding beauty of the driftless hills, the Poets, American20th centuryBiographyCountry lifeWisconsinWisconsinIntellectual life20th centuryWisconsinSocial life and customsPoets, AmericanCountry life811/.54BZimmer Paul1713120MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808110503321After the fire4105843UNINA
