Sanora Babb experienced pioneer life in a one-room dugout, eye-level with the land that supported, tormented and beguiled her; where her family fought because of their lives against drought, crop-failure, starvation, and almost unfathomless loneliness. Learning to read from newspaper publishers that lined the dugout' s dirt walls, she was raised to be always a journalist, then a writer of unforgettable books about the Great Melancholy and the Particles Bowl, especially Whose Titles Are Unknown. The writer was seven when her parents started to homestead an isolated 320-acre farm on the western plains. She says the story through her eyes as a sensitive, fearless young girl who came to love the wind flow, the vastness, the unknown and magic in the normal. This evocative memoir of your pioneer youth on the Great Plains is written with the lyricism and sensitivity that distinguishes all of Sanora Babb' s writing. An Owl on Every Post, with its environmental disasters, extreme weather, home loan foreclosures, and tough living conditions, resonates as much today as when it first appeared.
