Foss writes in an author's note: "I consider 'House of Eagles' one of the most effective pieces I've done in terms of language and communicating the relentless, inhuman quality of the natural world. I wrote it while i was a wilderness fire lookout in Oregon. I was at the timber-line for four months and experienced a different world, both environmentally and intellectually, than is usually associated with nature."

Rare. Good .
