Beschreibung:
Essayist, poet, and marine biologist Eva Saulitis for nearly thirty years studied killer whales in Prince William Sound, along with her partner Craig Matkin. Her first book, Leaving Resurrection: Chronicles of a Whale Scientist (Boreal Books/Red Hen Press), considers questions science did not allow her to ask. Her second nonfiction book, Into Great Silence (Beacon), deals with the Exxon Valdez oil spill and the orcas she studied. Her writing has earned awards from the Rasmuson Foundation, the Alaska Humanities Forum, and the Alaska State Council on the Arts. Eva Saulitis was Associate Professor in the University of Alaska Anchorage Low-Residency MFA program and a faculty member of the Kachemak Bay Writers¿ Conference. She passed away on January 16, 2016.
In this posthumous collection of essays, Eva Saulitis meditates on mortality, the art of living fully, and her advancing illness and nearing death, confronting the waiting question without fear or sentimentality: how are you going to live when you know you are going to die?
