Infos

Granite and Grace reflects Michael Cohen’s fifty-year encounter with the granite in the high country of Yosemite National Park, where he seeks a sense of belonging in an era called the Anthropocene. By creating a dialogue between geological and literary representations, where the geological becomes metaphorical, while science turns mythological, these essays shaped by on-the-rock encounters with landforms, open up important experiential and pragmatic dimensions.
