I hated reading books until I came across John McPhee. The way he writes would draw even an amateur to his world of descriptive poetic writing about any topic under the sun. Once you read a sentence by him you begin to wonder “Who would have thought of framing the sentence like this?” So poignant, endearing, mesmerising, curious, humorous and sarcastic - that’s his writing that speaks about the man he is - always young and inquisitive. God bless him
Dear Arcadia Books, Thank You for Presenting this discussion with Mr. McPhee and His daughter Martha. Writers such as the John and Martha contribute so much by Their Art and Gifts, in that their writing Captures and then Frees the Experiences and Histories of the Individuals and Subjects that They focus on. In Their Writing, they Breath Life into the Moments of All the Subjects that They write about, and in doing so, Teach us, the Reader that All Around us is indeed a Living World, even the Stones are in a Transition, just as We are as Humans and Families. To Read a Work by the McPhees is a Liberation... For the Subjects, For the Reader, and for even the Universe as They Convey to us the Opportunity to Appreciate All the Moments we have been Granted in the Finite Time we live. Truly, may All of You at Arcadia Books, and the McPhees, be Blessed as I have by the Wisdom and Experiences You have Shared with all of us. Good Luck and Godspeed, Bruno Biava ⚓ Olney, Illinois

John Mcphee is nearly as eloquent in his natural speech as he is in his writing, but far more heartwarming. A national treasure.

Exactly. But it takes courage.
