Though John Price had lived in Iowa all his life, the allure of the prairie had somehow eluded him until, after a catastrophic flood, a brief glimpse of native wildlife suddenly brought his surroundings home to him. "Not Just Any Land" is a memoir of Price's rediscovery of his place in the American landscape and of his search for a new relationship with the life of the prairie. Price's journey toward a conscious commitment to place takes him to some of America's largest remaining grasslands and brings him face to face with a troubling but also hopeful personal and environmental legacy. It also leads him through the region's literature and into conversations with contemporary nature writers - Linda Hasselstrom, Dan O'Brien, William Least Heat-Moon, and Mary Swander - who have devoted themselves to living in, writing about, and restoring the grasslands. The resulting narrative is an innovative blend of memoir, nature writing, and literary criticism bearing witness to the essential bonds between spirit, art, and earth.
