That question is at the heart of Marybeth Holleman's lyrical, elegiac response to the repercussions of the \u003ci\u003eExxon Valdez\u003c\/i\u003e oil spill, which devastated Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989. Intertwining the destruction of an ecosystem, the disintegration of her marriage, and her emerging identity as a new mother, Holleman explores the resiliency of nature--both wild and human--and the ways in which that resiliency is tested. While much of nature writing is about the search for an unspoiled landscape, \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of the Sound\u003c\/i\u003e is about what happens when such a place is irrevocably damaged. In language rich with passion and hard-won insight and imbued with descriptions that give voice to the place, Holleman creates a captivating story of a woman who found her Eden in the sweeping fjords of Alaska's Prince William Sound only to almost lose it to ecological tragedy. Speaking as a witness and survivor, she discovers what it means to love what remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarybeth Holleman has taught in the creative writing and literary arts department at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
