John Burroughs Is Topic of Ed Renehan Talk

Posted

The John Burroughs' Woodchuck Lodge presents the first of its Wild Saturdays program at the Catskill Watershed Corporation in Arkville on May 4th at 1pm. Renehan is a writer and editorial/publishing consultant located near Newport, RI. He is the author of JOHN BURROUGHS: AN AMERICAN NATURALIST (Black Dome Press, 1998) as well as WALT WHITMAN AND JOHN BURROUGHS, LITERARY COMRADES, published by the Vassar College Library in 2008. He most recently wrote the Introduction for the SUNY Press reprint of John Burroughs's IN THE CATSKILLS & MY BOYHOOD. Ed will be talking about the Roxbury of Burroughs's youth and old age–the place where in his last decade he nostalgically dealt with what he called "a homesickness that home cannot cure."
