After a long absence from his native southern Appalachians, Thomas Rain Crowe returned to live alone deep in the North Carolina woods. This is Crowe’s chronicle of that time when, for four years, he survived by his own hand without electricity, plumbing, modern-day transportation, or regular income. It is a Walden for today, paced to nature’s rhythms and cycles and filled with a wisdom one gains only through the pursuit of a consciously simple, spiritual, environmentally responsible life.
Crowe made his home in a small cabin he had helped to build years before--at a restless age when he could not have imagined that the place would one day call him back. The cabin sat on what was once the farm of an old mountain man named Zoro Guice. As we absorb Crowe’s sharp observations on southern Appalachian natural history, we also come to know Zoro and the other singular folk who showed Crowe the mountain ways that would see him through those four years.
Crowe writes of many things: digging a root cellar, being a good listener, gathering wood, living in the moment, tending a mountain garden. He explores profound questions on wilderness, self-sufficiency, urban growth, and ecological overload. Yet we are never burdened by their weight but rather enriched by his thoughtfulness and delighted by his storytelling.

History

Americas

University of Georgia Press

The product of an American poet's pilgrimage to Wales and written from Laugharne and the Dylan Thomas Boat House in the summers of 1993 and 1995, these are poems that reflect both a place in the Welsh landscape and, in a certain sense, a literary tradition from the perspective of one of America's brightest voices of the 60's generation.

Wrap yourself in the boundless love of the Divine with the mystical poetry of renowned Sufi saint Kabir, here brought to life for modern readers by acclaimed poet Thomas Rain Crowe.\n“When you’ve come all this way to the ocean of happiness, 
Do not return home thirsty with an empty cup. 
Wake up! Here is some pure water, 
Drink as much as you can!”\nThe enigmatic Indian mystical poet Kabir stands among the greatest spiritual thinkers of human history. At once a Sufi, Hindu, and unbounded disciple of the universal Divine, Kabir and his songs of union and ecstasy lead us beyond our preconceived biases about truth and reality—and invite us to see our life, through his eyes, as an ego-shattering and incomparably joyful dance with the Beloved.\nThis 65-poem collection of Kabir’s most rapturous spiritual songs, rendered into modern language by acclaimed poet and Sufi performing artist Thomas Rain Crowe, is brought to life in fresh, evocative language bursting with mystical power. Striking and profound, Crowe’s inspired and poetic adaptations offer a sumptuous taste of true reality—beyond boundaries and in joyful embrace of life and our world.

Shambhala

Poetry. This unique collection of love poems from the heart and soul of Thomas Crowe that were written to various lovers over a forty year span of the author's adult life is reflective of not only his romantic passion, but his sensitivity and ability to dovetail those romantic passions with natural and supernatural imagery, sometimes surreal, sometimes stunning. At a time in American literary history when love poems seem out of vogue, Crowe's love poems come as a welcome and timely change to current factory-like fads and preferences.
