Death of the Hornet and Other Cape Cod Essays
by Robert Finch

Death of a Hornet is Robert Finch's elegant rendering of Cape Cod, a sandy, scrub-oaked, tough and vulnerable spit of land reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean. The pieces in this collection are "natural adventures" that readers of Finch's previous books have come to expect, as well as longer meditations on the future of the Cape's fragile environment, the experience of livling in one place for a long time, and the relationships between mind, spirit , and nature.

"I walk directly into the lowering sun so that my vision of things is occluded, fragmented, blinded, and double-sunned by reflections in the water. It is like walking though a visual bramble, or maze, with my hand held in front of my eyes for protection. All is back-lit and glaring, so that I can get no hold on the landscape. "
--Seeing the Light

"In these compassionate, quietly provocative essays, Mr. Finch makes an eloquent case for dealing with nature not just as an extension of ourselves but as a world apart. "
--New York Times Book Review
