Read excerpt
Hello radio readers! This is Marit coming to you out of Lane County, KS. Mostly since it's been a race against the weeds with undercutting season at our farm, I had the pleasure of listening to Lauren Groff’s Florida in her own voice while out on the tractor.

On Heaven’s Breath: A Natural History of the Wind by Lyall WatsonBy Marit Ehmke Hello Radio Readers! This is Marit Ehmke coming to you from west-central Kansas in Lane County. If there’s one thing you can count on living in this part of the world, it’s the wind. Whether it be a gentle breeze or, more often than not, strong gusts bending what trees we have, the wind is a constant companion. For better or worse, it’s a dominant, dynamic feature of the Great Plains landscape. The book “Heaven’s Bre
