Six stories of survival -- men and women set upon by stormy seas, starvation, thirst, beasts, ghosts and their own inner demons. Based on real historical accounts the narratives are filled with the eerie poetry of island life, the exultant triumph of survival against all odds. From Florida's Bigfoot called the Skunk Ape to "the man who would not go bottom" -- a superhero who could not drown but was vulnerable on land, these stories of castaways will appeal to readers of all ages.

Autorenporträt
Richard Wilbur on Runners: "Runners is full of such engaging poems as 'Porches,' 'Wood for Winter,' and 'Witnesses.' In other places such as 'The Fallen' or 'Goat Castle, Natchez,' there is some deftly conveyed frisson. And then there are admirable poems ('Ravens,' 'Heron and Trout,' 'Ending Up in Horse Creek Canyon') which are informed by a large and deep sense of participation in the whole of life. Gerald Hausman has put together a strong, subtle and varied collection."
