Robert Michael Pyle Special guest for Spirit of the River 2011 www.cwu.edu/~geography/pyle.html
Robert Michael Pyle, UW & Yale-spawned ecologist and Guggenheim Fellow, writes essays, poetry and fiction along the Lower Columbia tributary of Gray's River. Bob has taught environmental writing from Ilwaco to Idaho, Tajikistan to Tasmania. Next spring he will serve for the second time as Kittredge Distinguished Visiting Writer at the University of Montana. He shares an old Swedish farmstead with weaver and botanist Thea Linnaea Pyle. Of his fifteen books, Wintergreen has been called a users' manual for Willapa, while Sky Time in Gray's River is more of a welcome wagon, with warnings. His latest is Mariposa Road: The First Butterfly Big Year, the chronicle of his adventures on a very long road trip with butterflies. Mariposa Road and other books will be available for purchase and signing at the Spirit event this year.
