About The Book

One of the most daring of contemporary writers in the genre.-Norton Anthology of Nature Writing[Hay's] books about Cape Cod belong in the company of Thoreau Donald Culross Peattie Henry Beston and Rachel Carson.-Robert Taylor The Boston GlobeHay's new book published in his 83rd year is autumnal in spirit and in substance. . . . The essence of this enterprise is a kind of prayer eloquent and deeply felt.-Richard Todd Civilization[Hay] is to my mind without question this country's greatest living nature writer. . . . He writes out of such a profoundly poetic impulse that he cannot help but produce prose of a high literary order.-Robert Finch The Cape CodderHay loses himself in details describing the minute play of light through grasses the reflection of a water bug on the rocks of a stream bottom the fungi on fallen trees that begin to glow with an eerie luminescence. . . . [He] is not only the observer of what most of us don't see but of what we may never get a chance to see.-David Cline Hartford AdvocateIn the Company of Light shares with considerable humility the well-honed insights of a man rich in the wisdom of age and observation of nature.-Nancy Grape Maine Sunday TelegramJohn Hay is author of The Great Beach (winner of the John Burroughs Prize) The Run and A Beginner's Faith in Things Unseen among many other books. He lives in Brewster on Cape Cod in Massachusetts and in Bremen Maine.
