There is a Corner of Someplace Else

There is a Corner of Someplace Else 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.
