“A life of creativity is a
life of risk. It is a life of going
beyond your ordinary, of embracing the odyssey, of leaving your familiar, of
trying to make a contribution….”
-- Godrey Reggio in a "Heron Dance" interview
Jim Stoltz is more than an eco-musician, song-writer, and photographer. He also loves books, poetry, and all kinds of art. In the ‘80’s he published a small book of poetry, and in 2003 his first book about his time in the wilderness was published. Walking With the Wild Wind hasn’t topped the best seller lists, but it has gotten rave reviews from the long-distance hiking community and people who enjoy backcountry adventure.
Browse the pages of this section of our website to read excerpts from his book. Read some poetry from Jim and fellow poets. Check out Jim’s recommended reading list and some of the book reviews he has written for past issues of his newsletter, Wild Wind.
While you’re here check out some of Jim’s original artwork . He uses cattle markers on canvas, and each piece conveys another aspect of his love for this beautiful Earth. He’s also included links to many of his friends who are artists and some that he just finds interesting. We think you will, too!
