Description
First Edition, hardcover.
Door Steps
is the second book in Norbert Blei's Door County trilogy (
Door Way
,
Door Steps
, and
Door to Door
). From the publisher: "In five seasonal essays and a daybook of 365 entries, Blei records the passing of days and seasons in Door County, in his life, in our lives. A delicate balance between the rugged Door terrain and the author's inner landscape, the entries of
Door Steps
range from objective, almost naturalistic observations to pure poetry. The seasonal essays, especially "Christmas Eve in Door," are already Door County classics."
Norbert Blei (1935 - 2013) is one of Door County's best-known authors of of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and journalism. Blei was born in Chicago and moved to Door County in 1969; he is the winner of a Pushcart Prize for fiction. (Blei's writing retreat, The Coop, now sits on the Write On, Door County campus.) His work gives readers insight into a different era of life on the peninsula.
Peoria, IL: Ellis Press, 1983.
The dust jacket, sketch of Blei, and interior art are by late Door County artist Charles Peterson.
