<p><em>There is a Corner of Someplace Else</em> is a tapestry of Camden Michael Jones's life as a wildland firefighter high school teacher life-long student and human living in the 21st century. There are moments of reflection on philosophy and history moments of panic and fear of calm of peace in nature and throughout there is a constant underlying praise of sweat and work. Taken together Jones's spare yet soaring debut challenges readers to see beyond our own vision to look farther along at what might be our better selves.</p>
