Voice from the Sea covers five decades of Margaret Owings's writing and conveys the passion that underlies her lifetime commitment to the preservation of wilderness. Her essays, poetry and art weave the voices of the sea, the forests and wildlife into a rich tapestry of passion for the natural world. Margarets lyrical words evoke images of storm-tossed seas, ancient redwood glades, moonlit nights in Africa, cliff dwellings of the Southwest and the artists, writers and friends who shared her fascination with nature, and fierce sense of stewardship.
