The essence of this enterprise is a kind of prayer, eloquent and deeply felt.\" -Richard Todd, Civilization \" Hay] is, to my mind, without question this country's greatest living nature writer. . . . He writes out of such a profoundly poetic impulse that he cannot help but produce prose of a high literary order.\" -Robert Finch, The Cape Codder \"Hay loses himself in details, describing the minute play of light through grasses, the reflection of a water bug on the rocks of a stream bottom, the fungi on fallen trees that begin to glow with an eerie luminescence. . . .  He] is not only the observer of what most of us don't see, but of what we may never get a chance to see.\" -David Cline, Hartford Advocate \"In the Company of Light shares with considerable humility the well-honed insights of a man rich in the wisdom of age and observation of nature.\" -Nancy Grape, Maine Sunday Telegram John Hay is author of The Great Beach (winner of the John Burroughs Prize), The Run, and A Beginner's Faith in Things Unseen, among many other books. He lives in Brewster, on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and in Bremen, Maine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807085391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807085394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 4.98w x 0.53d","brand":"John Hay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926286598399,"sku":"9780807085394","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e6bf3a37-91e1-4487-9cfe-35cdb3bfe185.jpg?v=1681082229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-company-of-light-john-hay-9780807085394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
