Boomerang Creek
In Notes From Boomerang Creek, the authors showcases the world situation and nature in a sinful way, observing both with keen intent on putting her poetic pen to the page, just as an artist brushes pigment on canvas. Cathy makes daily scenes and ordinary people come to life through her evocative prose in journeys both local and distant, her sensitive observations and keen imagination take the reader into worlds they want to know better — or find in their own travels.
Written with style and lyrical power, these essays show the positive side of life left too often behind by us all. When looking back on travel adventures and reflecting on the human condition, it is natural to first remember the negative things when recounting our views, but it is the beauty of life and the hope for a better world the brings us so much joy.
Notes From
Breakfast Creek
Leaving a life of fifteen years of teaching in south central Los Angeles and going to Washington, D.C. to work for National Geographic and then relocating to mid-Missouri brought Cathy Salter face to face with a profound change in both geographic setting and intellectual mindset. A multitude of tasks of animal care, the daily management of a small farmlet in Boone County, and the Great Flood of 1993 transformed Salter’s life profoundly.
Notes From Breakfast Creek became a weekly column first in a local town newspaper and later in the Columbia Daily Tribune in the nearby university town. Her essays range from the nature of her rural life to recollections of growing up, teaching, urban explorations, and international travel and intellectual whimsy. She has faced the blank computer screen for more than 650 Mondays in a row and has built up a loyal readership captured by her engaging spin of life at many levels.
