Learning to Jump

Arts & Literature

“Learning to Jump is a book full of character, color, and intimacy. Sean McDowell is a poet who illuminates the bonds that lightly (so lightly we hardly notice) hold us together and keep us from falling apart. Here we wander with a wanderer, a scholar who has left his library, and we travel far, from Seattle’s Pacific Northwest to rain-soaked Connemara in the west of Ireland, to explore what might be gained or lost along the way.”
